"We have been consistent in the last two months and the performance reflects what we have produced in the last 10 games: quality, spirit and determination.
"In the end we got the better of them. The goal came late but we deserved to win. Against a good team like City if you don't score early it is always a test, we gave them very little.
"Every time we are in trouble someone finds something special and the confidence is very high. The job isn't done yet.
"City have a chance still but it will be difficult. If you are eight points behind with six games to go they have to win every game. The closer you get the less likely it is that United will make mistakes. They can smell the stable.
"[Balotelli] It looked a red card to me, it was a bad tackle."
