Straight after the game Ferguson uncharacteristically said Everton were the better team
Ferguson admitted after the loss: "We were well beaten, simple as that. We started the game well enough, but their goal galvanised them and gave them the incentive.
"You don't want to lose a goal so quickly after going in front, but the real effect showed in the second half when we were second best.
"I'm disappointed and the players are disappointed. They're human beings, they play for Manchester United and they don't like losing, but they've lost today.
"This is a bad result and, at this time of the year, we can't afford results like that. We hope others drop points and that's the way it's been going this season. Hopefully it turns out right again."
Once he's had a bit of time to think about it he comes out with one of his old favourite excuses "tiredness"
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson blamed his side's defeat by Everton on fatigue from their midweek Champions League win over AC Milan.
But Ferguson is confident United can bounce back and lift their title hopes by beating West Ham on Tuesday.
"We left something in Milan and there was tiredness in the team," Ferguson said after Saturday's 3-1 loss.
