Last-gasp Ferdinand gives United 1-0 win over Liverpool
Sun Jan 22, 2006 6:01 PM GMT

MANCHESTER, England, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Rio Ferdinand thumped home a header in the 90th minute to give Manchester United a 1-0 Premier League win over Liverpool on Sunday.

The second- and third-placed teams appeared to have cancelled each other out in a midfield-dominated clash high on effort but short of goal chances.

In the 62nd minute Ferdinand cleared a Mohamed Sissoko effort off the line, Edwin van der Sar saved Harry Kewell's subsequent shot and Djibril Cisse blazed the rebound over the bar.

United snatched the points when Ryan Giggs curled in a free kick from the left and England centre back Ferdinand rose unchallenged to head past Pepe Reina.

The win takes United to 48 points and closed the gap to leaders Chelsea to 14 points after the champions were held to a 1-1 home draw by Charlton Athletic earlier. Liverpool stay third, four points behind United but with two games in hand.

RAFA SURPRISED AT DEFEAT
By Alex Dunn - Created on 22 Jan 2006

Rafa Benitez admits he was both surprised and disappointed after watching his side fall to a 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford.

The Liverpool chief saw his side play in a controlled manner at Old Trafford but despite having had arguably the best of the chances, fail to pick up any points.

Rio Ferdinand struck in the final minute with an excellent header, leaving Benitez to rue what he feels was an unjust scoreline when reflecting on the overall pattern of the game.

Benitez has now called for his side to put the defeat behind them and concentrate on the battle to make ground on runaway leaders Chelsea.

''It was a surprise but it was clear," Benitez told Sky Sports. "We lost a game we were controlling, we have to think about that.

''It was the last minute, so it was a disappointing day.

"It's always difficult to lose in the last minute. We know we have two games in hand, we know it's a long way and we have to keep going."

Ferdinand's goal came from a disputed Giggs free-kick when referee Mike Riley ruled that Patrice Evra had been fouled after a raid down the left flank, in a incident that did appear to amuse Benitez.

"I do not want to talk about the decisions of the referee," said Benitez. "Sometimes I do not understand, so I prefer not to talk about it.

''We have lost a game we were controlling in the last minute, to a free-kick.

''That is not normal but we can't change it now."
