Manchester United gave Newcastle a thrashing at St James' Park to move within three points of Arsenal, with Sir Alex Ferguson praising the endeavours of his front four stars.
Sir Alex Ferguson was understandably delighed as his Red Devils stuck five goals past a sorry Newcastle at St James' Park. And while the Scot praised the work rate of the whole team, he paid special attention to the efforts of front four Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez and Nani. Rotation "I think we were fresher in the centre midfield," Fergie told Setanta Sports of today's tussle in which he rotated from the Lyon midweek clash. "We brought in Carrick and Fletcher after Scholes, Hargreaves and Anderson on Wednesday and it worked well. Great Attackers "But the match was decided by the ability of our front players," he continued. "They were brilliantm, all four of them. We could have scored more - we made some great chances. "Ronaldo and Rooney scored two apiece and will take the headlines but the movement of Tevez and Nani were great too. Van der Sar did well when he needed to and it was a great team performance all round." Pipe Down Asked what the gameplan had been, Fergie said it was simple: shut the home fans up as quickly as possible. "The first job to do here with this great atmosphere is to try and quieten the home fans and I think we did that early on," he said. "The form against Arsenal last weekend in Lyon has stressed our urgency to try and do better after the Manchester City defeat." (Source: Goal.com)
