Ferguson told Sky Sports: “It’s a good result that’s for sure. It’s a marvellous day for us. A good result and a good team performance.
“We had to show a lot of discipline, but in terms of playing football we were the better team.
“It was a typical United-Liverpool game. The crowd create such a verve and flowing football is not an issue.
“It is about winning the game and certainly the moments when we did play football in the first half we were the better team.
“I said before the game that the games between the top sides were going to be important this year and that was an important win for us.”
“At the moment we are top and we hope to stay there at the end of the day, but it is going to be a long struggle and fight through the season,” Ferguson added.
“I’ve always said about December if we get to New Year’s Day and if we can be top or just about there then we have an outstanding chance of retaining the title.”
