“We hit the bar, had a goal disallowed and in the second half we pushed on. It was a good all-round performance.
“We were dominant right through, Rotherham took us to extra-time and we were the better team from the go.”
On Thierry Small becoming the club’s youngest-ever player, the Scot added: “Brilliant, great for him and I’m made up for him. Really delighted. He was cool and we are delighted for him. 16, unbelievable. Hopefully the first of many.”
On their chances at lifting silverware, Ferguson concluded with the classic cup cliché: “We are in it to win it.”
Calvert-Lewin revels in victory against boyhood rivals
Calvert-Lewin also spoke to the press, telling BT Sport: “Happy to be back in the goals and I have worked hard to get back to full fitness.
“I know when the ball is in those areas, I need to be aware and I am glad I was there to put it in.
“When you go 1-0 up, you are never safe and we had to score the second then got the cushion.
“It felt good to get a runout especially against them, being a boyhood Sheffield United fan.”
