How did Manchester United perform against Sunderland?
Well, Manchester United were labouring at the Stadium of Light when Zlatan Ibrahimovic did this with half an hour gone and they went on to a comfortable victory. Reaction now with Patrick Davison.
Zlatan, you've got a bit of catching up to do to get yourselves in the top four. Given that, how big a win was it today?
Important three points, especially now in the end where we haven't got the points we wanted and today was a good win. And we have to keep focusing, keep working, keep believing in that we can reach, let's say, in the top four. So we believe in it and we will do everything to get to the top four.
It was quite a quiet, quite a tight open half hour. Did you sense your team needed a bit of inspiration?
I mean, it's part of the game. You feel each other. Either you begin strong or... You don't begin so strong, but at the end, you will come in the game and you will play the game, and at the end, the best team will win. So the game was good, and we get the 1-0. I get the red card.
What was the significance of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's performance?
I couldn't see if it was the red card or not, but he gave the red card, and afterwards, you play with one more. Sometimes can be more difficult. Sometimes it gives you advantage, of course, because you play with one more.
It was your 250th goal since you turned 30. How are you able to keep the level so high?
I train hard. I train hard. I keep focusing. I believe in what I do. I believe in myself and I know what I'm able to do. And I'm not worried. I just play my game. I try to enjoy. And it seems like the older I get, the more intelligent I get. Because, of course, you can't move the same as...
What impact did the red card have on Sunderland's game?
as 10 years ago, 5 years ago, or even 15 years ago. But the older, the more experienced, the more intelligent. You don't waste so much energy on things you don't really need. The game is improving. I'm getting better and better. Like I said, I feel like Benjamin Button. I was born old, I will die young.
Well, you played well today and I'll grab the award from down here. Thank you.
Premier League man of the match.
We'll play Benjamin.
Thank you. Yeah, Benjamin, indeed, he's not wrong, is he? No-one scored more goals than him in England. Incredible.
How did Manchester United's second half build confidence?
I mean, they should do the interview, man-of-match interview before the game at the same time. How often does he win that for Man Utd? By far and away their best player again. Where would they be without him, Phil?
I think he's carried them, I really do. The goals he's scored, his attitude on the pitch. Look, Jose keeps rotating the team, he never rotates Zlatan, he plays it every single minute of every single game and they will need him to keep scoring goals from now to the end of the season.
Did they need his intervention in the first half today as well?
Yeah, I think they did. They didn't start great. They started nervously. And we spoke about half-time about the defending from Sunderland. I thought it was really poor. Coney in particular. I know Billy Jones is getting pinned there.
What were the standout moments from the Everton vs. Leicester match?
from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He should try and get in front with intensity and lack of intensity from Kony there. He doesn't look like he wants to go and close the ball down. Just look, he's ambling towards the ball. Real, real poor defending, but a brilliant strike from Zlatan. There's only one thought, isn't there, Jamie, when he gets that ball?
Absolutely. He can't stop him getting into his right foot, but it's easier said than done because he just bludgers it into the corner. And how often do we see him do it? He almost bullies Premier League defenders. He looks like he's enjoying it so much. He just holds off Billy Jones there, comes inside and just whips it into the corner. Great finish.
How anguished is Sunderland going to feel, though, Phil, about the red card to Seb Larson in that first half? Well, I think it ended all hopes in the game for Sunderland.
How did Everton respond after their derby defeat?
Look, I still stand by the thought that it was a yellow card. Look, he wins the first tackle. That momentum takes him into the second tackle. He does go in with his studs up. But look, we can't outlaw tackling in the game. Look, I think he's going for the ball.
