Tottenham Hotspurs coach Harry Redknapp appeared to have gambled the English football league fixture against the Red-Devils as the Manchester United football club players took advantage of the fact that most of the top Spurs players had been rested against the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE match with CF Inter-Milano this week.
Harry Redknapp had rested on-form mid-fielder Van der Vart, Peter Crouch, etc. He played third choice striker Robbie Keane who did not really make an impact in the game and his mid-fielders couldn’t stand up to the creativeness and prowess of the United defence.
Alex Ferguson’s men took the lead when Nemanja Vidic headed in Nani’s free-kick. However, the high-point of the English football fixture was when Nani appeared to have been fouled in the 18-yard box but the referee refused to give a penalty, then Tottenham Goalkeeper Gomes was supposed to take a goal-kick but he wasted time with the ball. Then, Nani got up, ran towards Gomes and he kicked the ball into the net before the Tottenham goalie could take the goal-kick.
The referee allowed the goal claiming that Man United had the advantage. The win leaves the Red-devils in third place in the English soccer league table and 5-points behind leaders Chelsea FC.
Tottenham Hotspurs are 2nd in Group A behind CF Inter-Milan and will take on the Italian Champions this week.
