Duncan Ferguson makes Everton and Real Madrid claim after first Forest Green Rovers win

Duncan Ferguson believes that Forest Green Rovers can still avoid relegation after the little club on the hill stunned high-flying Sheffield Wednesday at the New Lawn.

Everton legend Ferguson had failed to win any of his previous nine matches in charge after being appointed Forest Green manager at the end of January. The League One basement club had not won a single match since December 10 last year, but put in a committed performance to down the promotion-chasing Owls 1-0 on Sunday, thanks to Jordon D'Andre Garrick's first half strike.

The Cotswolds club are still four points adrift of nearest team Cambridge United and 11 behind Oxford United, who sit just outside the relegation zone, but a delighted Ferguson was in typical fighting mood after his first win as a full-time manager and has already set his sights on a remarkable survival mission.
