”we are still in the race” David Moyes

Manchester United manager David Moyes refuses to give up on retaining the Premier League title, despite falling 14 points adrift of leaders Arsenal following a 3-1 defeat at Chelsea.

A Samuel Eto’o hat-trick guided Chelsea to a comfortable win at Stamford Bridge and in the process handed United a seventh league defeat of the season.

However, Moyes, whose side remain seventh in the table, said: “What we don’t do is throw the towel in until we can’t get there. The job is to finish first and we’ll try to do that.”

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho also refused to rule United out of the title race – but said it would need a dramatic loss of form from those teams ahead of them to revive the reigning champions’ hopes.
