Manager Alex Ferguson was furious with the linesman.

Witnessing Clint Dempsey's equalizer in the very last minute of the match, manager Alex Ferguson couldn't contain his anger and harshly criticized the linesman.

Manchester United took an early lead thanks to a goal from Robin van Persie, but a moment of defensive lapse proved costly as Dempsey scored to secure a 1-1 draw and a valuable point for Tottenham.

This draw reduces the gap between the two Manchester teams to just 5 points.

In a post-match interview, the Scottish manager said: "We were unlucky in this game. I think Manchester United should have been awarded a throw-in in our own half, but the linesman didn't. Not only that, he didn't see Wayne Rooney fall in the penalty area and was indifferent to other fouls."

"I remember vividly when he officiated the match between Manchester United and Chelsea a few seasons ago. He allowed Drogba to score from a position three meters offside. I was really disappointed."

On the other side of the pitch, coach Andre Villas-Boas was full of praise for his players: "My players played well and deserved to win. Tottenham had 15 shots and controlled the ball for 60%. This draw may disappoint MU, but for me it's a fair result."

"Regarding Rooney's fall, I have no further comment, but throughout the 90 minutes, Tottenham also received quite a few unfavorable decisions from the referee. I want to see this match from my perspective, while Manchester United want to see it their way."
