<b>Man Utd 2-0 Spurs</b>. Tottenham players continue to surround Clattenburg - who is the same ref who failed to give Mendes' 'goal' past Carroll a few years ago. Ferguson said when shaking Redknapp's hand that he had no idea what happened. What we know is that goals from Vidic and Nani have given United all three points. They climb to third, behind Arsenal on goal difference, and remain unbeaten. Thanks for joining us folks.

It's all over...
- 93'
One minute left of injury time now and it's a shame the match has finished this way as it had threatened to be an exciting finish.
- 92'
I hope that's cleared things up in terms of the goal - it's one you need to see to try to understand, even then you might struggle!
- 91'
Great strike from Nani, a cracking left foot strike smashes the crossbar.
- 89'
Let me try and clear up the goal again. Nani thought he had been brought down for a penalty and on the way down handled the ball. No free-kick was given but Gomes assumed there was and he threw the ball down to take it. However, referee Clattemburg had not penalised Nani and the winger slotted the ball into an empty net.
- 87'
United corner now and surely they can't give this lead away?!
- 87'
We will come back to this because I think the referee has made an absolute clanger.
- 86'
Man Utd 2-0 Spurs. Right, basically Gomes put the ball down for a free-kick, which had not actually been given and Nani was there to put it into an empty net.
- 84'
Yes he has scored! The assistant seems to have changed his mind and Spurs players surround him and the referee.
- 84'
No he hasn't! The linesman has flagged. But what for?

Comfortably cleared by Evra.

Spurs trying to build an attack but United standing firm at the moment.
- 81'
Pacy break from United with Nani feeding the ball to Scholes inside the area, but as the midfielder looked for Brown with the first-time pass he was left disappointed as the right-back had not continued his overlapping run.
- 79'
Brown gives it away but comes back with a strong challenge on the Modric.
- 77'
Free-kick for United halfway into Spurs' half and Ferguson's side happy to just pass it around. They are certainly in no rush, though Spurs must be awware of United's penchant for throwing away leads this season.
- 77'
Not sure exactly what the problem is but Spurs will certainly hope he is fit and ready to take on Inter Milan on Tuesday.

Scholes dictating possession but United now put it out of play with Van der Vaart looking in some discomfort on the ground.
