Giggs Hails Pleasing Win

Ryan Giggs says United's 3-0 win over Chelsea has given the Reds plenty of confidence in the title race, but the Welshman says there's a long way to go.

The 35-year-old was outstanding in the centre of United's midfield and received a standing ovation when he was substituted late on.

"It's nice to get the three goals," he said of United's comprehensive victory at Old Trafford.

"We wanted to win, but a clean sheet and three goals against a very good side is pleasing. It sets us up for midweek [against Wigan]."

Wednesday's match is the first of United's two games in hand on league leaders Liverpool, but the Merseysiders' advantage has already been trimmed to five points.

The result is a major blow to Chelsea's title ambitions, but Giggs would rather focus on how the win will boosts United's chances.

"I'm not bothered what this result does to them. What it does is give us confidence," he told Sky Sports.

"We'd only taken one point from three matches against the top teams. We've got them all at home in the second half of the season and we have to make the most of it, like we did today."
