Despite defeat at Chelsea, Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson believes they left Stamford Bridge with a moral victory.

John Terry's controversial winner secured all three points for Carlo Ancelotti's men despite finding themselves second best for most of the 90 minutes in South London.

"That was Manchester United we saw today," declared Ferguson on MUTV. "We've got a great squad and today was a reminder that we're a very good team.

"We've been criticised recently by a lot of people, but that won't deter us.

"We've got a cause now, a great cause - we want to win this league. And the lead isn't unassailable, that's for sure."
