Europe: UEFA Champions League (Group B)

Sir Alex Ferguson has come to the defence of under-fire goalkeeper Ben Foster after the club's 23-match unbeaten home run in the Champions League came to an unexpected end with a 1-0 loss to Besiktas on Wednesday night. A goal by Rodrigo Tello after 20 minutes gave the Turkish champions their first win at the fifth attempt in Group B. Foster was left stranded as Tello's effort rebounded off left-back Rafael and deceived him. However manager Sir Alex Ferguson felt no blame should be attached to Foster for the decisive strike. He said: "The goal followed a deflection off Rafael and we were chasing the game. Deflections off the body have a certain speed and that can cause a problem."
