Manchester United's David Moyes slams Howard Webb's "scandalous" decision

Manchester United manager David Moyes comes down hard on referee Howard Webb for failing to give his side a penalty against Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester United manager David Moyes believes that it was "scandalous" that his side were not awarded a penalty against Tottenham Hotspur during their Premier League match on New Year's Day.

The Scot insists that Hugo Lloris's challenge on Ashley Young inside Spurs' 18-yard box merited a spot kick and criticised referee Howard Webb.

"It was scandalous, a scandal," Sky Sports News quotes Moyes as saying.

"If you follow through on a player anywhere else on the pitch with your foot high, it would be a sending-off and a red card. You couldn't do that anywhere else.

"The goalkeeper comes out, Ashley Young gets the ball before him and he follows through. It's an incredible decision which didn't go our way, in fact probably the one of the worst I think I saw."

United eventually lost the match 2-1 at Old Trafford and are now seventh in the league table with 34 points from 20 matches.
