Carrick hails resolute Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo showed why he is probably the best player in the world with his twice-taken penalty against Arsenal, according to Michael Carrick.

After beating Jens Lehmann emphatically the first time, Ronaldo was ordered to retake his spot-kick and showed superb poise to put his second effort in the same place – low to Lehmann's right.

That brought United level after Emmanuel Adebayor’s opener early in the second half, and gave the Reds the platform to claim a vital victory through Owen Hargreaves’ free-kick.

Carrick told MUTV: “Ronny dealt with the pressure very well. It was a terrific penalty and that’s what top players do under pressure. They raise their game and produce the goods.

“Then Owen stepped up and hit a tremendous free-kick. We’ve seen him do it many times in training and I was pretty confident that he was going to take that and score.”

Carrick recognises the significance of the win, both in extending United’s lead over Chelsea at the top to six points and all but ending Arsenal’s title hopes. But he knows another tough game awaits the Reds at Blackburn next week.

“You could see by the celebrations how much it meant to us,” the midfielder added. “It was a tough game – one of the hardest ones we’ve had all season.

“We’re in control of the situation now and next week’s another huge game for us, so we’ll rest and get ready for that this week.”

Papers: Two games away

Let's clinch it at the Bridge

Sir Alex Ferguson has ordered his players to win the title at Stamford Bridge. United have Chelsea on April 26 in their sights after beating Arsenal yesterday. Boss Fergie insisted: “I said before the Arsenal match that if we win the next three games, we’ve won the title. There are two games now. I knew if we got over this one, we would have a good chance. This is a significant result. There are four games left and we’re three points clear of Chelsea. But if we win the next two, with our great goal difference, we have won the league.” United go to Blackburn next Saturday and then Chelsea, who are expected to cut Fergie’s six-point lead to three by winning at home to Wigan tonight. The Reds’ vastly superior goal difference of plus 54 means wins over Rovers and Chelsea, who are on plus 35, will be enough to retain the crown.

Avram Grant insists that United's stars could wobble under the pressure if Chelsea win their next two games and draw level with them at the top of the Barclays Premier League. Grant believes that two wins in four days could put United's players under enough pressure for them to start making costly errors. "I believe that nobody is a computer," said Grant. "Pressure can affect anybody. If we win every game I think we will win the title. But it's not easy to win them. I said a week ago I didn't believe United and Arsenal would do it, it's not easy."
