Moyes slams referee for missing late penalty in loss

Manchester United manager David Moyes criticized referee Howard Webb for missing a late penalty as its revival ended in a 2-1 home loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Wednesday.

The Scot was incensed about a late challenge from French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris on substitute Ashley Young that even Spurs manager Tim Sherwood thought was a penalty as United slipped to a fourth league loss at home this season.

"It was scandalous," said Moyes. "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.
