Man Utd boss Ferguson furious over Bowyer late equaliser

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was furious with the manner of Birmingham City's equaliser in last night's 1-1 draw.

Ferguson was fuming after feeling that Blues substitute Nikola Zigic had handled the ball and committed a foul when challenging for a Roger Johnson cross which Lee Bowyer eventually converted.

Dimitar Berbatov had earlier put the visitors ahead.

Ferguson said: "There was a foul to begin with and then he (Zigic) has handled the ball.

"If you don't get a decision like that in that situation, what chance have you got.

"It is a great shame because the way we played in the second half we deserved the three points.

"The first half was a non event but we played ever so well in the second period.

"Having got in front, we should have finished them off. We just needed a bit more care but their goal should not have stood."

On Berbatov, he added: "Dimitar did very well. He is in great form. It is good to see that."
