David Moyes admits "mental softness"

Manchester United manager David Moyes admits that his side showed "mental softness" in not holding on to their lead over Fulham this afternoon.

Manchester United manager David Moyes has admitted that his side showed "mental softness" in being unable to hold on to their lead against Fulham this afternoon.

United scored twice in as many minutes to take the lead in the closing stages of the match, but were left stunned when Darren Bent nodded home a 94th-minute equaliser to earn a 2-2 draw for the visitors.

"One of the big things about Manchester United is that they do play with width, they do cross the ball, its in their genes here," Moyes is quoted as saying by PA.

"You could say we maybe had a mental softness in that we didn't see the game out and get the job done. When we went 2-1 up they left us with the ball. It was just a case of playing out time and we gave away a diabolical second goal.

"It was a game we should have easily seen out. We were comfortable. We weren't under any real pressure."

The result leaves United seventh in the Premier League table, nine points behind the final Champions League place.
