A controversial late goal from Nani and a first-half header by
Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic ensured Tottenham's 21-year
wait for victory at Old Trafford continued.
United captain Vidic opened the scoring with a header after 31
pulsating minutes before Nani reacted quickest to some goalmouth
confusion to prod home five minutes from time.
Spurs were furious with referee Mark Clattenburg for allowing the
second goal, scored after goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes placed what
he believed to be a dead ball.
With just two minutes gone Park Ji-sung had come within a whisker
of giving United the lead, taking a couple of touches to line up
a shot before letting fly from 25 yards. His low effort had Gomes
well beaten but cannoned off the post to safety.
