Sherwood - 'Crown Them Champions Now!'

Tim Sherwood: "We've played the champions today, without question in my opinion.

"Unfortunately for everyone they play, they don't just score one and shut up shop, they keep coming. If anyone is going to win the league you want a team like this to do it because they entertain.

"It's not great for an opposition manager, believe me, but they just put you to the sword. That's how football should be played in my opinion.

"They've got to win it now, they've won it before but Manchester United are the champions now. But I just think these guys are on a different level to anything in the league.

"I think Andre got it right in the first place when he called it as a corner.

"Unfortunately for us, the linesman decided that Andre got it wrong and he's given a penalty there.

" I think Danny's making a last-ditch tackle so he's having to lunge in there a bit. He clearly wins the ball - I think we will appeal.

"It made a difference to the scoreline but they were excellent, weren't they? You've got to hold your hands up.

"Even before the sending-off, they come at you from all angles and they are the best team in the league by a country mile."
