Man Utd star admits to luck

Fulham should have been awarded a penalty as Danny Murphy went down under Michael Carrick’s challenge.

“Yeah you have a quick look to the referee. He’s waved it away but having seen it back again I think he could’ve given a penalty for it,” Evans said of Michael Carrick’s tackle on Danny Murphy.

“Yeah, I suppose so [the win came with a touch of good fortune].”

Evans continued to Sky Sports: “It’s a great result for us but we were a bit disappointed with the performance. We’ve managed to grind out a 1-0 victory and it puts us top of the league again.

“It would be nice to get more goals but looking back on the game we’re just delighted to get the three points after the performance we put in wasn’t up to our usual standard.

“The last home game against West Brom we had to wait till about the 35-minute mark but it was similar today in that we had to be patient to get the goal and it was just unfortunate that we didn’t manage to go on and get another couple of goals.”
