Chris Hughton: 'Manchester United goal was fortunate'

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton believes that Manchester United were fortunate to score against his team in their 1-0 win at Carrow Road.

Chris Hughton has said that Manchester United were "fortunate" to score against Norwich City this afternoon.

Danny Welbeck came off the bench in the second half to slot the ball past John Ruddy and secure a 1-0 win for the visitors.

"I thought we were magnificent right throughout game. Their winner was a fortuitous goal with the double deflection which ran into the path of Danny Welbeck," BBC Sport quotes the Canaries' manager as saying.

"Our organisation was excellent and we had some good chances. On the balance of play, defeat is a tough one to take.

"So many aspects of our game today were very good. But goals win games, and their goal was fortunate."

The result leaves Norwich 14th in the table, while United climb to sixth.
