Mata Hails Key Win

Every Monday, Juan Mata posts his weekly blog, offering insight into his thoughts on what’s been happening on and off the pitch…

What an important win this weekend against Everton, and for many reasons.

It is one more consecutive victory at Old Trafford, it means three points to climb to the top four of the table and winning is the best possible way to face an international break. It was a key game but we know there is still a long way ahead. We won the match but once again we suffered until the last minute and perhaps we should have controlled the game better.

We took the lead thanks to Angel [Di Maria] and then David [De Gea] started his amazing performance when he saved [Leighton] Baines’ penalty. In the second half they tied the game and later on Radamel [Falcao] scored (I am very happy for him, the first one of many more goals I’m sure). Then David made several extraordinary saves to keep the three points at home. What a superb performance - it seems his new haircut brought him luck!

As the manager said we know we have to improve, but little by little we are climbing the table and I’m sure we will keep doing that with your support, which is always fantastic at Old Trafford.
