Premier League: Manchester United earn draw at West Ham

Robin van Persie's late goal earned Manchester United a 2-2 draw with West Ham at Upton Park to inch them closer to the Premier League title.

Sam Allardyce was angry that Van Persie's equaliser was not disallowed for offside. He told Sky Sports: "The team has played the best they can play and they have scored one of the best goals of the season and the assistant referee takes it away from you." Sir Alex Ferguson, on the other hand, preferred to focus on his belief that Carroll should have been sent off. He told Sky Sports: "I think it's obvious, I don't think we need to dwell on that, it's an obvious red card but the referee has seen it differently."
