Fergie hails his goal machine

Alex Ferguson hailed boy wonder Federico Macheda after the 17-year-old’s late goal sent Manchester United back to the top of the Premier League table on Saturday.

The Italian, who scored his first senior goal for the club last weekend to see off Aston Villa at the death, did the trick once again to kill off Sunderland’s brave fightback at the Stadium of Light in a 2-1 win.
