Fergie happy with win over Chelsea, does not feel guilty

London, Apr. 7 (ANI): Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson has insisted he felt no guilt over escaping from Stamford Bridge with a win after Chelsea were denied a certain penalty.
The Manchester United boss said it was about time his luck changed at Chelsea, having not won there since 2002.
United took the honours in last night’s Champions League quarter-final first leg courtesy of a Wayne Rooney goal.
But it was referee Alberto Mallenco’s refusal to give an injury-time penalty for Patrice Evra’s challenge on Ramires that was the main talking point.
The Sun quoted Ferguson, as saying: “It looked to me as if the boy made the most of it. If we got a break, then it is the first one we have had in seven years, so I don’t feel guilty at all.”
He added: “From where I was it looked 50-50.” (ANI)
