Ryan Giggs believes Juan Mata has earned Jose Mourinhos trust after the attacker scored his third Premier League goal of the season against Arsenal on Saturday. The Spaniard was sold to Manchester United by Mourinho, who was then in charge at Chelsea, and his place at Old Trafford was questioned following Mourinhos appointment last summer.But Giggs, who coached Mata under David Moyes and Louis van Gaal, believes the playmaker has proven his worth to the manager. Mata, who has also scored against Leicester and Bournemouth this season, put United on course for three points against Arsenal, only for Olivier Giroud to equalise late on, consigning the hosts to their third consecutive league draw at home.It was another impressive display from the Spain international and when asked by Sky Sports if he has earned Mourinhos faith, Giggs said: I think he has, and rightly so.He is a very good player and a brilliant professional. The key to Juan being effective is getting the legs around him.He has a footballing brain and when you have Antonio Valencia over-lapping, Marcus Rashford in the channels, the energy of Ander Herrera and the power of Paul Pogba, then it makes it easier for him because he doesnt have to do the running, which he can do.His number one position is No 10, but hes done it [played wide] for so long. He played off the right for Chelsea. Juan Mata said it was extremely frustrating to concede late against Arsenal Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Mata admitted his team-mates were left frustrated by Girouds late equaliser, but he was eager to take the positives.We were very close to winning the game but this is the Premier League and this is football, Mata said. We know every team will fight until the end and they did. They had one chance and Giroud did a great header and we take a point.When you are winning by just one goal you are not totally in control. We had a few chances to score the second goal and that would have killed the game.We have to take the positives. We showed passion, we showed that we are a team and committed, and that we were close to beating a great team like Arsenal.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- The plan is simple for Army: trust the run-heavy offense, keep leaning on the opponent and pounce once the defenses legs get a little wobbly.It worked well enough Saturday to bring the Black Knights within a win of bowl eligibility for the first time in six years.Ahmad Bradshaw scored on an 11-yard keeper with 11:45 left to help Army beat Wake Forest 21-13 as part of a dominant fourth-quarter effort. Darnell Woolfolk added a TD run of his own with 2:54 left for what amounted to a clinching score.The Black Knights (5-3) entered with the nations No. 2 rushing offense (357.6 yards), but had managed just 42 yards in the first half and 131 through three quarters. Yet when the fourth began, Armys runners were soon bulling their way through a fading defensive front and dragging tacklers for first downs.Thats exactly what Coach (Jeff) Monken and (offensive coordinator Brent Davis) harp on, Woolfolk said. They say that we execute our game plan, things will open up. Maybe not right away, but if we keep doing our brand of football things will open up. And thats exactly what happened.Army ran for 107 yards in that final quarter with its wear-you-down, clock-melting style.I didnt expect we were going to fold. I thought we would fight, Monken said. And thats what Im most proud of: they just came out in the second half and fought really, really hard.Army is having its best season since winning seven games and earning the programs last bowl invitation in 2010.Wake Forest was trying to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2011. But John Wolford got the Demon Deacons off to a bad start with two interceptions on overthrown balls on the first three possessions, and Wake Forests offense sputtered as Army made its fourth-quarter move.They were better prepared, they out-executed us, they out-toughed us, they played smarter than us, Demon Deacons coach Dave Clawson said. They beat us, they flat-out beat us. If wed have won that game, we wouldnt have deserved it.THE TAKEAWAYARMY: The Black Knights have proven theyre the type of team contentt to lean on opponents with the run -- again and again -- to wear them down and slowly assert control.dddddddddddd This game was a reminder of how well that formula can work, even on a day when the big rushing totals arent there.Weve just got to believe at all times, Bradshaw said. Definitely we cant flinch.WAKE FOREST: Despite its moments of growth in Clawsons third season, Wake Forest is still prone to offensive struggles and lacks some big-play punch, occasionally turning drives into work-for-everything fights.Offensively we had made improvement through the middle of the season, Clawson said, Were starting to regress a little bit. Were not making plays.THE BOWL GOALClawson deflected questions earlier this week about his team trying to become bowl eligible, saying it would only get there if it accomplished its goal of going 1-0 each week enough times.While Monken borrowed that line after Saturdays win, Bradshaw said its definitely on our minds while Woolfolk pointed out that the teams preseason goals included winning -- not just reaching -- a bowl.Obviously it feels good that were right there knocking on the door to become bowl eligible, Woolfolk said, and thats exactly what we want to do.QB PLAYWolfords third interception with 9:25 left proved to be a killer, with Army answering with a 12-play drive that took 6 1/2 minutes off the clock and ended with Woolfolks TD run. He completed 23 of 43 passes (53 percent) for 220 yards and one TD.Fellow quarterback Kendall Hinton missed his fifth straight game with a knee injury.UP NEXTARMY: The Black Knights can become bowl eligible by beating Air Force next week. Air Force has won three straight meetings by at least 14 points.WAKE FOREST: The Demon Deacons host Virginia in the first meeting between the teams since Wake Forests 16-10 road win in 2012.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
