Ferguson praises defensive duo

Alex Ferguson hailed centre-backs Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand after Manchester United ground out a 1-0 win over Everton at Goodison Park.

Vidic headed home United’s winner seven minutes from time and Ferdinand pulled off a last-ditch block in his penalty area to deny substitute Victor Anichebe an equaliser after Edwin van der Sar had saved James McFadden’s effort.
