Fergie hails ‘massive win’

(02-01-2011) Sir Alex Ferguson on Sunday hailed Manchester United’s 2-1 victory over West Brom as a “massive win” for the EPL leaders. Despite the Red Devils being far from their best form at the Hawthorns, headed goals from Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez ensured they took the three points. West Brom missed a penalty through Peter Odemwingie. "It was a really tough game, with a greasy pitch, they had three midfield players in there, plenty of shots at goal but they are a good footballing team and they proved that today," Ferguson told Sky Sports. "It is a massive result for us today, a lot of games you have to battle and we had to do that today.” He added: "As I said, of all the times we have won leagues in the past we have had performances like this where they have battled all the way."
