United lost at Ewood Park when they produced a fighting display, but he says he would rather win "ugly" than be the bridesmaid.

Sam Allardyce: "Points are all-important in the Premier League. We dealt with what Fulham had to offer and waited for our opportunity. We got one at the very end and got three very valuable points.

"We have played much, much better than this and lost, particularly in our last away game when we played Blackburn off the park.

"Today we probably didn't deserve to win but they certainly didn't deserve to, that's for sure."
