Manchester United 5-2 Tottenham – All The Goals
United scored 5 goals in 22 minutes
Manchester United went into half time 2 goals down to Tottenham but a controversial penalty gave them a chance early in the second half.
From that point on, there was no looking back, a 5 minute spell that saw 3 goals meant that not only had United taken the 3 valuable points on offer today but had also built up much needed momentum going into the Champions League semifinal clash with Arsenal.
As for Tottenham, they’ll be wondering what might have been if that penalty hadn’t been given, but regardless of that decision they have no excuse for the ease with which they allowed United back into the game.

lol @ mental spurs fan
Hahaha……a spurs fan has gone mad…quite natural!!!!
Seems Last years penalty decision in the FA cup has come around to bite Redknapp.
But aside the penalty wat a performance!!!!. Hats off to both the Ronnies , Tevez , Berbatov and Vida .
All berbatov bashers see how he performed today….he didnt even give a single ball away ….see the sensational thru balls to rooney and ronnie . Tevez is all energy and sometimes is a headless chicken without atouch of class but this guy is pure class. He doesnt run around like tevez ….but his workrate is very good for a CF . Some of his takes from the air are amazing….pls i never find anyone appreciating this . He is a sincere player …..a one of his kind .
As for spurs fans u can moan abt the penalty decision all u want but that does not give me an answer why u have conceded 5 goals . Moreover if u had watched the gamme closely palacios should have been sent of quite early for his two footed lunge on ronaldo. It is one of the worst efforts to tackle i have seen since Alf Hangeland episode. If ronaldo hadnt moved his legs would have been broken for sure. I am quite sure none of the papers would concentrate on this as the usually have their spaces allocated only for rooney and bashing about his tacles and ball throws. I have watched broadcast from espnstar and the replay was shown 2 times and u spurs fans can watch to verify.
Anywayz wat a nite ….the best half of football in the entire season….come on gunners…..bring it on….u dont need to worry as u have ‘The rock of Gibraltar ‘ Silvestre in the defence
Wow that was quite a rant! The penalty was a poor decision but to go off on a drugs rant is a little alarming, love the caps lock too it really hammers home your point.
@ ashwinred you have got to be kidding about Berbatovs work rate! i agree the guy has a great touch on him and can control the ball better than almost anyone else in the league but if you go to the games live just watch him he barely ever runs, he never tracks back and he expects the ball to feat constantly. do not get me wrong i rate him but the fact that he has gone missing in soo many games this season shows that he isnt good enough to lead the line for what is probably the best team in the world and thats comming from a Liverpool fan.
As for Ronney’s performance once again sheer brilliance he was simply impossible to play against and the cross he put in for Ronaldo was sublime. It was clearly never a pen everyone knows that and i certainly do not think the turn around was due to drugs but i do think the FA need to look at how many dodgy penalties are awarded to ALL the big four at home but especially United as some of the decisions you see at Old Trafford are ludicrous.
Final thing i want to say is that if Ronaldo actually stopped moaning and played the game he would be even more dangerous than he currently is. yes he is one of the worlds best players but the simple fact is that as he is the best he wants everyone to do what he wants and im sorry mate but football just doesnt work like that. Great result for United and an awesome 2nd half show, from one very downcast Red
Rooney’s performace was fantastic! I am ignoring the first half, which by the way, Spurs really deserved. I can’t see how it was a dodgy penalty decision. He may have got a hand to it but Carrick was still clean through. By the letter of the law Gomez should have been off as the ref saw this as a foul. I agree with Ben King on how Ronny could have been even better if he’d quit with the moaning and got on with the game but not about Berbatov. He is a fantastic buy and well worth the money. He is definately not lazy, and you notice this more from the stands.
The links to the goals are wrong! The fourth and fith goals links need to be swapped.
I’m not sure what all the commotion about the penalty is about. I thought it was a clear-cut penalty. In fact, I can’t believe Gomes wasn’t sent off. Under the rules, if he’s the last defender and he commits a professional foul, then he should have been red-carded (like Kuszczak was in the F.A. Cup against Pompey last season). I’m glad he wasn’t though, since he started playing very poorly after he gave up that penalty. He was at fault for both of Rooney’s goals and Berbatov’s goal.
As for Berbatov, I thought he played extremely well. He was very influential on offense and did a great job passing the ball around and holding it for his teammates. He actually looked motivated today, which is no surprise since he was playing his old team and because of all the criticism he took after the F.A. Cup defeat on Sunday. Hopefully, he can keep it up against Arsenal in the CL.
It’ll be interesting to see if Ferguson revisits his second-half lineup during the season. He hasn’t played Tevez, Rooney, Berbatov, and Ronaldo together for an extended stretch of time. They looked very fluid on offense and could be a matchup nightmare for any opposing team.
First of all Howard Webb is inconsistent as is Berbatov. At Old Trafford penalties are hard to come by for opposing teams but are given easily to Manchester United.
Tottenham are totally rubbish. How the hell did they concede 5 goals in the second half??? All of the spurs players should get replaced by six year olds. Ronaldo’s penalty I can understand. Rooney’s shot through Corluka’s legs utter shambles, especially Berbatov’s last goal. Gomes is shit, Berbatov is not good enough for united. I think I hate tottenham more then I hate united. Pains me to say it but it’s true.
Actually, look at it again and again and again. The penalty should have never taken place. Gomes actually touches the ball before Carrick fell over like a tit. That is how I know you’re from the states.
This is the football i want to see from man u. I want rooney in the left and must play tevez in the forward. Tevez is not a bench warmer. He must play in every game.If fergie want to play with only 2 strikers then berba should go to the bench.
If tevez leaves in summer we must blame none other then sir alex. Tevez is truly dedicational person who gives everything to the club.
We all know how he saves west ham from the relegation. I want’s ur support is not for me it’s for tevez. PLEASE DON’T LEAVE US TEVEZ. I am a man u fan for 15 yrs(from my childhood) i never feel like this when the likes of becks, RVN leave the club. But if tevez leaves i will also leave man u.
i have heard some really dumb excuses for a team getting hammered but davspurs my friend you have certainly outshone yourself with your little drugs rant…muppet!! first off spurs were outclassed plain and simple. they like many other teams could not cope with rooney and ronaldo. ok…you wanna complain about the penalty…work away…it was it wasnt…regardless of the fact that it may or may not have been a penalty…spurs still conceeded 4 in the second half. now correct me if im wrong here but i do feel that regardless of your whinging and moaning this all boils down to basic primary maths…5 goals minus 2 goals equals 3 goals…therefore you were beaten by 3 clear goals…now if ya wanna go down your oh poor me route and claim that it in fact wasnt a penalty then we look at it this way…4 goals minus 2 goals equals 2 goals…so either way you were still beaten. so face facts my london friends…YOU LOST and not only that you lost in style!!!
I take it back about Gomes. He should not have been sent off. I watched the replay and King and Woodgate were back there. Still, it was a clear penalty, and I don’t think Gomes even touched the ball. Great call Mr. Webb!
Hahahah that first comment really is a rant!! Brilliant.
More to the point: with regards the penalty, it wasn’t a stonewall penalty but I have to say I’m surprised at the uproar. On balance it probably wasn’t a penalty, but you see those given 20 times a season without the same fuss. Gomes gets a slight touch on the ball but does also bring Carrick down.
I didn’t see the game, but everyone anti-United I know was foaming at the mouth about the injustice (including Alan Green on 5live, although I don’t know him (thank God)). So when I saw it I was expecting a terrible terrible decision.
In the end it was 50/50 – sometimes you get them sometimes not. Danny Welbeck’s last weekend at Wembley was more of a penalty but not given, likewise Ronaldo’s against Spurs in the Carling Cup final. What goes around comes around.
Manchester United are so Good.
Hopefully we can win the premier league,Champions League and every other cup except the FA Cup coz of Damn Everton.
Okay Manu were great 2nd half …. BUT ….
Bent is crap … I can hardly bare watching him and the commentator was absolutely correct …. not even Harrys Missus would have missed that goal !!!!
Please, please God get rid of him in the Summer …. Please !
Ps: Drugs ..Hmmm ??? …. They were a bit hypo eh ???
davspurs wth is wrong with u … drugs being given iut during half-times … haha … i mean just look at it … its SPURS … a club which has not won anything except for a league cup in almost 10 years … Dude you guys have never won UTD in OT since 1989 … So plz stop acting like you have lost a title deciding match …
@Victor for what it’s worth, Gomes got a touch, but it was more like his hand got in the way as Carrick tried to knock it away from him.
i honstely can not believe that people that claim to know football and have an interest in it think that it was a pen!! the fact is the goalie pushed the ball away hence the fact it totally changed direction anything else ie carrick falling over is irrelelvant. thats the bottom line, he didnt go through the player he didnt push him over he didnt do anything but merely won a ball that was there to be won in a fair and law abiding way but this is United and they seem to play by a different rule book to the rest of us
@Ben King You seem to be a sensible supporter, and hence to see you say United have a different rule book is quite surprising. Isn’t it your red tinted glasses speaking.
Liverpool should have never got a free kick after that horrendous Mascherano dive, but I don’t see ti mentioned anywhere.
Bendtner was not offside and his goal should have stood in the 4-4 draw, as should have Fabregas’s.
United should have got a penalty in the FA cup against Everton.
For the record, this is only the second penalty that United have got in the premier league this season, whereas Liverpool have had about 10 penalties given and 10 opposition players sent off.
And I can count more than 4-5 incidents when Ronaldo has been denied legit penalties this season, let alone United.
Fact is we all get shit decisions and get favorable ones but to say that United somehow are the only team to get favourable decisions is wrong.
@Shreyas… totally wit u on this one man… some go ur way some don’t… simple fact… and davspurs… thank u man… it was so obvious y’day night that united were awesome in the second half bcos of drugs… =) this is the first rant i’ve heard that borders on insanity…
@Shreyas I agree masch freekick was definetly a dive and i would never agrue that we get alot of decisions go our way because of who we are, especially at anfield but all those cases you cite came about by either a 50 50 poor judgment call or the referee being conned by a player, yesterdays penalty was neither, it was an atrociously bad misunderstanding on simple football by the man who is supposedly the best ref in the land, if he doesnt understand the basic premise of, if you hit a ball one way then thats the way it will go, then he shouldnt be doing his job. we do all get shit decisions that go for and against us over the years but its decisions like yesterdays that are soo terrible that do make people resent united and the arrogant fool that is ronaldo.
but once more i would like to stress that united were awesome in the second half and even without the penalty they still would have won
@Ben watch the replay again, carrick tries to flick the ball away from gomes, it doesn’t change direction much after touching gomes’ hand. It’s not a stonewall pen, and it’s not a bad decision either. The only vantage point that could have given a clear view of the incident was the touchline to Carrick’s left, and guess what, the linesman was on the other side and Webb was a fair distance behind Carrick.
Gomes does end up clattering through Carrick, doesn’t he?
I think a lot of people are angry that United got a debatable decision going their way because of where the ref was positioned and this ABU notion that United always get the sweet end of the deal.
What about Fab’s disallowed goal at Anfield? What about the dozens of dives and phantom penalties being given to Gerrard and Torres over the last two seasons (and more if you just talk about Gerrard)?
Your argument is that liverpool get favorable decisions on 50-50 calls or because the player cons them. This was a 50-50 call too. Watch the replays without the ABU blinders, and deal with it.
arrogant fool? the same arrogant fool who celebrated the 3rd goal as if his life had depended on it? It’s fine if you lot don’t want him, we’re more than happy with him on our side.
And while we’re on the subject of the standard of refereeing, Webb to me seems like like a guy who’ll let a lot of things slide to help the flow of the game but take quick action if there’s a definite game-changing incident.
Case in point, the Palacios two-footed lunge in the first half and the Paul Scholes lunge in the second half – both missed their targets, both were allowed to slide by the ref. In Palacios’ case it was a straight red if it had connected, and a yellow in the best of circumstances even if he hadn’t. Scholes was already on a yellow, but his lunge would have got him a card nevertheless.
I like Webb – he tries to do the right thing regardless of reputation or outside influences. And he knows his game. A lesser ref would have penalised Palacios (I wanted him to be carded but that’s my bias speaking), he let the game flow. I don’t agree with several of his decisions from past United games that he’s refereed, but I can live with them because he gets most of them right and to me he gives off a better vibe than, say, Mike Riley. Yea, it’s not an exact science.
Also, as far as the whole game goes, he did a good job refereeing it with only one significant decision that could have gone either way. If players did that good a job they’d be heroes.
This is the last time I’ll be visiting Soccerlens.
There really should be a disclaimer at the top about bias.
don’t let the door hit you on your way out!
If you’ve got such a big problem, point out where you think we’re wrong. If it’s the comments then, well, they’re personal opinion for everyone. As for the articles, how biased and how unbiased we are is clearly stated here.
false outrage – which is what your comment is all about – is just attention seeking behavior, and congratulations, you got some.
OK, I’ll pick-up Bob’s toys and put them back in the pram!
