We were fortunate – Fergie

Sir Alex Ferguson admitted Manchester United enjoyed good fortune in their Carling Cup win over Aston Villa on Sunday. Wayne Rooney came off the bench to head home the winner in the Red Devils 2-1 win at Wembley. It was Fergie’s 32nd major trophy at United and Rooney’s 28th goal of the season. But controversy surrounded a penalty awarded to Villa in the fourth minute when United defender Nemanja Vidic brought down Gabriel Agbonlahor. James Milner scored from the spot but the referee failed to card Vidic, even though he was the last defender and Agbonlahor was through on goal. "You're in this game to win and I appreciate everything we have achieved as a club and I appreciate the luck I've carried. I've lost finals and it's not easy when you lose a final. The only way you can enjoy Wembley is winning,” said Fergie afterwards.
