Moyes furious over ‘scandalous’ Webb decision

David Moyes labelled a controversial decision by referee Howard Webb as “scandalous” in the wake of his team’s 2-1 home defeat by Tottenham last night and questioned whether England’s most well-known man in the middle should be officiating such high-profile games.

The United manager also questioned the effectiveness of the PGMO, the body who appoint match officials, after Webb failed to award United a penalty following a late challenge by Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris on Ashley Young.

“It was a scandal,” fumed Moyes. “It’s reckless, it’s late, it’s in the penalty box, I don’t know what else you can say.
