I'm sure Manchester United fans can relate to the headlines.
Yes, they were lucky indeed - lucky that Sir Alex's decision to rest key players on the bench with Champions' League and Man City in mind for the next two fixtures paid off; lucky that Rio Ferdinand was not sent off; lucky David De Gea was inspired for the Derby.
Nothing wrong with that, you ride your luck in the Premiership. Liverpool will be massively disappointed for not picking up all three points after having eight shots on target vs. United's three on target.
While Steven Gerrard stole the headlines with a goal in his return to the starting lineup, it was the Uruguayan fireball Suarez who caused havoc for United's defenders.
Goalkeeper David De Gea was without doubt the overall man of the match in this exciting fixture. Although I have to admit, Sir Alex ruined the first 65 minutes of the game by having Rooney, Chicharito and Nani all on the bench. Imagine the atmosphere if all three had started?
One thing for sure, Liverpool would have still been up for the challenge. Manchester City are the real winner of this fixture. They go top with their 4-1 victory over a hapless Aston Villa.
