United weren't playing well 'til the pen and it was definitely a pivotal moment, goals change games as they say and it's obvious Spurs lack mental strength this season, that's why they were in danger of being relegated. You see in tennis a players head goes down when a decision goes against them and they often lose and one point in tennis is a lot less important than a goal in football.

Also, judging from the commentary on 5 Live Scholes should have been sent off, they said he made 3 yellow card worthy fouls shortly after coming on, then he kicked the ball away which is a 4th yellow card offence.
