Hoddle: We deserved something

Injury stricken Spurs went down to a Ruud van Nistelrooy penalty and Hoddle said: "I'm disappointed because we deserved something from the game but there was plenty to encourage us considering we had 13 players injured.

"People talk about Manchester United being in decline but their midfield and attack can cause anyone in the world problems.

"We answered a lot of the questions that were posed of us and it took a penalty to win the game.

"I have no complaints over that decision but we should have had one when Rio Ferdinand handled a little bit earlier - I guess you don't get those at Old Trafford."
