Fergie bemoans refereeing as mind games start

Manchester United lost 1-0 to Arsenal on Sunday, meaning Chelsea can go top by beating them next week.

United were denied a late penalty for a trip on Michael Owen, though they were lucky that Nemanja Vidic was not sent off in the first half for punching the ball away as Robin van Persie looked set to score.

Ferguson said: “we’re not going to get the decisions in these big games, I’m afraid”.
