Tottenham 1-1 Manchester Utd: Official angers Ferguson

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says the assistant referee had a "really poor game" after he failed to award a second-half penalty to the Premier League leaders in their 1-1 draw with Tottenham.

The 71-year-old Scot says his team should have been awarded a spot-kick after Steven Caulker appeared to trip Wayne Rooney in the box. Tottenham forward Clint Dempsey's late strike cancelled out Robin van Persie's opener.

The draw leaves United unbeaten in 11 Premier League matches and five points clear at the top of the table.
