Roberto Mancini has labelled cross-town rivals United "lucky" following the Red Devils extended their lead at the top of the Premier League dining table, writes the Sunday People's Steve Bates Getty Sir Alex Ferguson Asaluted his Manchester United stars yesterday evening after they opened up a 15 point lead. But Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini was not satisfied and printed his concept competitors as aluckya. Ferguson danced for joy as frequent Ryan Giggsa 80th second hit made a 2-0 conquer QPR at Loftus Road after Rafael had opened the score with a target of the summer season challenger. But despite a formidable lead which considers Ferguson closing in on his 13th Premier League top, derision was risked by City chief Mancini by belittling Unitedas title demand. Mancini feels the 15 point distance is definitely an illegal Areflection of the Adifference involving the two sides. He claimed United were fortunate to have overwhelmed City 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium in December and feels Fergieas stars have had the stroke of the green with vital late targets. Town will try to close the gap on United today when they face a Chelsea part targeting a second-place finish themselves. But Mancini seems Unitedas dominance in the concept struggle is deceptive, saying: aI donat think 12 items is just a hole now. aUntil now United have already been really happy with everything. They've won plenty of games within the last few minutes like against us when they didnat deserve to win. They deserved to get rid of probably that time but they won within the last few minute. Points were lost by awe in activities where we deserved to win and didnat score. For this reason I say this could be the huge difference. aLast year we obtained a lot of goals around this aspect. Weare maybe absent maybe seven or eight and ten goals points. aBut you understand United did better than us, that is sure. They have force like all the other teams but it is used by them because they play like this every year.a Mancinias responses can raise eyebrows, particularly as Ferguson had to handle his defence that was decimated by early season injuries. But last night he was unconcerned by the Town bossas taunts as he celebrated another key get a with Giggs the hero again. Unconcerned: Sir Alex Ferguson is concentrated on maintaining United prior to the package Getty He said: aRyan scored yet another great goal here a' I do believe it was 30 years ago! But heas got a great report of scoring here and this one was at a crucial time because any such thing can occur with 12 minutes left. aRafael obtained a wonderful goal also. I said to him he should have closed his eyes. The lad has had an absolutely Amagnificent season and is Amaturing all the time.a The only real scare for United was a injury to Robin van Persie, who collided with acamera in the build-up to Rafaelas cracker. Ferguson said: aHe collided with a camera and hit the base of it. He's an extremely bruised hip that I imagine will be sensitive and sore for a couple of days but hopefully he will be fine, especially for the True Madrid game.a Rangers employer Harry Redknapp reckons his stars can still escape relegation despite falling further into trouble with this specific defeat. He said: aWe are bottom but we wonat be by the end of the season. I still feel we shall get free from it. aWith Bobby Zamora and Loic Remy straight back they will begin scoring some objectives for all of us Abecause thatas what we want, thatas the issue. aIf Bobby stays healthy, and Remy too, with 11 games to go I could see them doing some harm to other groups. We have been written by aeveryone off but we've the opportunity. United may win the league today though.a
