While Sunday's epic Manchester derby was a showcase of shoddydefending, United left-back Patrice Evra could scarcely contain hisexcitement afterwards.
The Frenchman acknowledged that each of City's goals could have beenavoided, but opined that they helped to forge an unforgettablespectacle.
"Sometimes we need mistakes to have a great game like this,"Evra told MUTV. "I really think we could have killed the game early on,but when we scored we started to make mistakes. I think for the fans,for everybody, for us, it was an amazing day today.
"To score like this in the last second of the game, it was justamazing. The players on the bench were coming on the pitch, the fans,the atmosphere - this is why I say thanks to God I play in the Premier League and for United. A day like this is just amazing."
Prior to Michael Owen's 96th-minute winner, Craig Bellamy looked tohave salvaged an unlikely draw for Mark Hughes' Blues as the gameentered stoppage time.
Evra concedes that Owen's strike was vital not only for the points andto placate manager Sir Alex Ferguson, but also to deal City'scash-powered revolution an early setback.
"It would have been very difficult to go inside the dressingroom if we had drawn," he said. "I think the manager would have giventhe hairdryer to everybody!
"It was important to win because City hadn't lost a game. Whenwe were drawing, I was thinking that people would start to say thatCity are still strong because they never lose. Now everybody has lost,except for Chelsea."
