They will be gutted now in the changing rooms just as Gary Neville was on Sky

1822: Tottenham 1-1 Man Utd
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson tells BBC Sport: "We did so well at everything and we kept heading it out, the disappointment is not finishing them off. We had a lot of opportunities on the counter attack but our final ball let us down.
"It was a clear penalty-kick on Wayne Rooney but in no way was the the linesman going to give that. He gave them everything else. We have not had a good record with this linesman, against Chelsea a few years ago he gave onside to Didier Drogba who was three yards offside, you remember those things.
"They pumped the ball forward, maybe David De Gea could have got a better punch on it, but I will have to see it again.
"Tottenham were very committed and aggressive. I think they have a decent squad and a good team.
"If you look at our away programme we have been to Everton, been to Liverpool, been to Manchester City, been to Chelsea, been to Tottenham... We have been to all the top teams away from home."

Anyway. United were shit.

Spurs deserved the point if not the win. Game on now. We are dragging ourselves to the top with the point gap reduced to 5 and goal difference only 1 now.
