Managerial reaction from Sunday's Premier League fixtures, with Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson claimed it was "fantastic to be the most successful team in the country" after their 2-1 victory over Chelsea moved them to within one point of a record-breaking 19th title.
Alex Ferguson: "We could've scored six in the second half, but we expected a tough game and we got a tough game. We were brilliant - we got a great start but (Chelsea goalkeepr Petr) Cech made some fantastic saves. When we gave the ball away for their goal, we were a bit nervy but the fans helped us."
"It's fantastic to be the most successful team in the country. The minute we won that first title in 1992 the door opened, and we've been involved in the first two all throughout that period - it's a fantastic achievement. For the last 17 or 18 years it's been Arsenal and Chelsea as our nearest challengers, and the last few years it's been Chelsea. Arsenal made a great attempt this year but them losing today has finalised it. We deserve the title and hopefully we'll get that point now."
Carlo Ancelotti: "In the first minute we lost the game, we started so badly. It was very difficult after that to come back and try to win. The second half was better but United played better and deserved to win. We have to accept the defeat, today United were better and in general this season they were better than us. They deserve to win title, they will win and we have to try to maintain second place."
