Robinson fumble gifts United lead

Manchester United scored their 999th Premier League goal in taking a 1-0 lead at home to Tottenham but it came courtesy of a mistake from England goalkeeper Paul Robinson.

The Red Devils, who were looking to overtake second-placed Spurs in the top match of the day, capitalised when Robinson fumbled Ruud van Nistelrooy’s header from Paul Scholes’ free-kick and Mikael Silvestre dived in to put United ahead.
