Premiership: Viduka: We were a little unlucky

Mark Viduka was disappointed not to take all three points from their 1-1 draw with Manchester United.

Mark Viduka was disappointed not to take all three points from their 1-1 draw with Manchester United.

A mistake by Nigel Martyn allowed Luke Chadwick to side-foot the visitors into the lead, only for a wonderful header from Viduka to salvage a point for the home team.

Viduka said: "I thought we were a little unlucky. We missed a penalty early on and battled hard. For me we dominated most of the game and deserved to win."

Viduka was unsure if he was offside when Wes Brown put the ball in his own net in injury time.

"It was a difficult one to call, a split-second decision. I was trying to make an option for Lee (Bowyer) to cross. I don't know if I was offside.

"A draw was not really what we deserved - we deserved to win.

"United's back four did well. They battled hard all the match and stopped us. They caught us on the break with the goal and we had to fight back.

"It is always good to get a goal and there is no better game to get it in."
