Inspiring draw against Chelsea could win us League, says Man U's Rooney

Europe Sun (ANI) Monday 6th February, 2012

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney believes his team's inspiring draw against Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge on Sunday could win them this season's Premier League title.

United were on the verge of defeat against Chelsea after trailing 3-0, but a relentless performance by them saw them scoring three second-half goals, sparking one of the Premier League's greatest comebacks.

Rooney believes the points secured from would prove crucial in the title race.

"We have shown that spirit so many times over the years and this point could win us the League," The Sun quoted Rooney, as saying.

He reminded people of United's never say die.

"At 3-0 down, a lot of teams would find it easy to let their heads drop and accept defeat but we carried on working hard and, thankfully, got something out of the game. We really had to dig in," he added.

"But after being 3-0 down all the City players at home won't have enjoyed watching the way we fought back and the spirit of our team. They know it will be a fight to the finish and we'll be there at the end. (ANI)
