There's no doubt that the Tottenham Spurs are one of the most dangerous teams in the entire English Premier League in terms of goal attackers. However, in their game against Manchester United at White Hart Lane back on Sunday, there was no evidence of their living up to their reputation, except for a few near misses as they tried to beat the Manchester defense.

Manchester, despite their opponent's success at sending Rafael off, stood their ground and managed to disperse any would be goal attackers. Rafael was given the red card after committing a foul for the second time roughly around the 74th minute of the game. Because of his defenders' valiant efforts, United coach Alex Ferguson couldn't help but be pleased with their guardian display.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Ferguson says that his rear guards "were particularly good". Ferguson adds that he looks forward to a thrilling season ender with the Spurs, and that what matters most is "winning games and keeping your nerve". The Manchester head honcho concludes that "today, defensively, we kept our nerve." Meanwhile, Ferguson was pretty adamant about Rafael's red card. He says that he did not want to talk about the referee, Mike Dean, and that it was pretty clear why it had happened. Ferguson rather highlighted Ryan Giggs' 600th league appearance for Manchester United, praising his loyal Welshman left fielder as "an incredible human being and an example to anyone that wants to use him as a role model."
