Highbury clash of the giants a classic, claims Ferguson

ALEX Ferguson claimed Manchester United and Arsenal “raised the bar” at Highbury on Tuesday by producing one of the best matches in Premiership history.

The Red Devils’ momentous 4-2 win ended any lingering hope of the Gunners’ retaining their title and left United as the only realistic challengers to runaway leaders Chelsea.

Ferguson has spent the last three days bringing his team back down to earth in time for today’s must-win Old Trafford clash with Birmingham.
