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. Wei-Yin Chen Jersey . 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.

He capped the week by making 32 saves and stopping 2-of-4 shootout attempts in a 2-1 win over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.DETROIT -- One swing, two milestones. All part of a memorable night for Detroit rookie Eugenio Suarez. Suarez homered for his first hit in the majors, and the Detroit Tigers beat Boston 8-6 Saturday night, sending the Red Sox to their fifth straight loss. Miguel Cabrera had three hits for the Tigers, who have won all five games against the Red Sox this season after losing to them in the AL championship series last year. Suarezs solo shot in the fourth came in the shortstops third at-bat since he was called up from the minors earlier in the week. "I hit that ball hard," Suarez said. "I feel very happy for that hit, for that home run. Ill never forget that first hit, my first start in the big leagues." Suarez became the first Detroit player to accomplish his first career homer and first career hit at the same time since Wilkin Ramirez on May 20, 2009. Ramirez hasnt homered in the majors since. Suarez made his debut as a substitute Wednesday and hurt his knee sliding into second, but he was in the starting lineup Saturday. Nick Castellanos also homered for the Tigers, and Dustin Pedroia went deep for Boston. Detroit closer Joe Nathan allowed two runs in the ninth in a non-save situation, but retired Stephen Drew on a flyout with two on to end it. Nathan has an ERA of 7.04 this year. "We just wanted to get him an inning. Were going to need Joe Nathan," Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. "We wanted to get him out there and let him throw some pitches, and kind of work through this. He threw more pitches than we wanted, obviously, but was able to get through it." Max Scherzer (7-2) allowed four runs and 11 hits in 6 2-3 innings for the Tigers. He struck out nine and walked one. Jon Lester (6-7) allowed five runs and 12 hits in 4 1-3 innings. Castellanos and Austin Jackson had three hits for the AL Central-leading Tigers, who had lost five straight before taking the first two games of this series. They scored two runs in the first off Lester on an RBI double by Victor Martinez and a run-scoring single by Torii Hunter. Rajai Davis added an RBI single in the second. Castellanos hit aa solo homer in the third. Miguel Rojas Jersey. After Pedroias solo homer in the fourth, Suarez led off the bottom half with a drive that carried past the fence in left for a 5-1 Detroit lead. Lester entered the day with 95 strikeouts, the third-most in the American League, but he didnt fan a single Detroit hitter. "I didnt feel good from the first toss in the bullpen to the last pitch I threw in the game. Against that offence, that means a long night," Lester said. "I flat-out wasted this game and the performance by our offence." The Red Sox chipped away against Scherzer. Jackie Bradley Jr. hit an RBI single in the fifth, and Drew added one in the sixth. In the bottom half, Ian Kinsler hit an RBI triple and scored on a single by Cabrera. David Ortiz chased Scherzer with an RBI double in the seventh to make it 7-4, but Al Alburquerque came on and got Grady Sizemore to ground out with runners on second and third for the third out. Boston is now in the middle of another long streak. The Red Sox lost 10 in a row, then won seven straight before their current skid. Bostons Xander Bogaerts stole third in bizarre fashion in the ninth when Castellanos left the base unattended to shift from his normal spot at third to the right side of the infield with Ortiz batting. Bogaerts took off for third, and Nathan ran over from the mound and tried to tag him but couldnt get to third in time.
