Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was satisfied with victory over Wigan Athletic.

Headed goals by Patrice Evra, his first since April 2007, and substitute Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez secured the points to leave Ferguson satisfied - especially with Chelsea and Arsenal suffering losses.

Ferguson said: "It has been a good day for us, no question of that.

"If you had said at the start of the day would you take being joint top of the league I would have said 'yes'.

"We know that come the second half of the season we will definitely get better and now we are joint top with Chelsea."
