Man Utd's Brown: We were better. Drogba fouled me

Manchester United defender Wes Brown is adamant Didier Drogba fouled him for Chelsea's winner last night.

Brown was left grounded as John Terry nodded home a free-kick late on for Chelsea's 1-0 win.

"It's very hard to take, we played really well," Brown told MUTV after the match.

"I thought we played really well as a team and passed the ball brilliantly. We were the better team and had more chances. We should have done better with our chances, but we definitely didn't deserve this result and it's tough because we go home with no points.

"I don't think the referee played well and we've been let down by that goal. The decision to award the free kick was harsh. Then Drogba was holding me and pulling me down, obstructing me from challenging for the ball when the free kick came in the box. The ref didn't see that either - what can we do about it?"
