In October 2010, Tottenham were left fuming when Manchester United midfielder Luis Nani scored a highly controversial goal to secure a 2-0 win at Old Trafford. After being sent sprawling to the turf by Younes Kaboul, Nani thought he had a penalty and stretched out an arm to put his hand over the ball. Referee Mark Clattenburg waved away the penalty appeal and Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes, seeing that Nani had handled and presuming his side had been handed a free-kick, dropped the ball to take a set piece. Unfortunately for Gomes, the ball was legally in play as no free-kick had been awarded and Nani jumped up, ran past the goalkeeper and cheekily prodded into an unguarded goal for 2-0. The goal was allowed to stand and in the end United had made the game look comfortable. Yet it was a farcical end to what had been a close contest as then-Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp blasted the incident as 'scandalous' while his furious players surrounded Clattenburg and his assistant both at the time and at the final whistle, resulting in a truly acrimonious affair. United would go on to win the league that season by nine points but perhaps owed something to good fortune when they collected their 12th Premier League title in May 2011.
