Carlos Tevez was the hero as he rescued Manchester United in the Carling Cup in the 1-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers in the Carling Cup on Tuesday night.

  • Fabrizio Romano updates on Nicolas Jackson's future at Chelsea
  • Arsenal suffer big injury blow ahead of Fulham game
  • Tevez slotted home a penalty to send United into the Quarter finals.



    However, Ferguson said after the game: "The conditions made things a bit difficult in terms of the ball coming off the surface quickly, but I think we controlled that part well," Ferguson told MUTV.



    "We played with good patience and good speed and stretched them really well.



    "QPR haven't lost a lot of goals recently and they defended very well as we expected. So it was always going to be tough.



    "But overall I'm very pleased by the attitude of the players. They worked very hard and we're all delighted to get through.



    "We're used to teams coming here and defending. But what we did well was making sure we had them on the edge of their box for most of the game.



    "It was just a matter of opening up and getting the first chance, which proved difficult to begin with."
