To be honest I must agree with sir Alex who thought that United only deserved one point from this game. The first half was a really poor performance from the visitors while Tottenham played really well. You might argue that the opening goal should have disallowed since Jenas hit the ball with the arm. However since Spurs had a penalty claim turned down in the second half when Evra accidently brought the ball down with his arm inside the penalty box, you might say that it evens things up.
I have to speak out my mind about Jenas though. Ronaldo always get labelled as a diver even though no one mentions the numbers of times he gets kicked at. I did not expect that I would label Jenas as a diver but in the two last games against United he has dived several times and that really annoys me.
Well back to the game. The second half started better for United and it looked as if Spurs would have to focus on defending. The pressure did not last long though and Spurs raised their game and it wasn’t until Nani and Anderson were brought on (I have to say that Giggs and Scholes had really been under-performing) that United was able to put some pressure again and in the very last minute of the game Tevez was able to score his 11th Premier League goal of the season.
The draw means that Man United was left two points behind Arsenal which bet Man City in Manchester. Although it was two very important points that were lost, to at least get away with one point could be crucial in the end.
