Lucky! Giggs admits Man United played badly against Liverpool in Anfield battle
Injury: Rio Ferdinand said he was fine after the game

'It has been four or five years since we got a win here. It was an ugly win, probably our worst performance in that time, but we will take that,' he said.

'We didn't get going as an attacking force. We were on the back foot for most of the first half and sometimes it creates its own problems.

'Today, with the occasion and the emotions involved, we just wanted to come here, get the job done and get out with the three points.

'We have done that so we are well pleased. You can get really involved and sometimes the emotion of the occasion can affect you.

'They dealt with it fantastically. You have to pay tribute to that but we won the game - that is all that matters.'

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insisted the best team lost and blamed mistakes by referee Mark Halsey for contributing to their first defeat to Manchester United at Anfield since 2007.

Steven Gerrard's volley gave his side the lead seconds after the interval but Rafael curled in an equaliser before Robin van Persie scored United's first penalty of the season after Glen Johnson was adjudged to have brought down Antonio Valencia.

However, Rodgers took issue with the sending-off, the penalty and Halsey's decision not to award Liverpool a spot-kick when Luis Suarez was felled in the second half.
