Howard Webb has admitted that he made a mistake by awarding United's penalty last Saturday against Tottenham. "Obviously I've looked at it again and I think it was a mistake but we make these decisions honestly," Webb told the BBC. "From pitch level it's not always easy to see the exact way the play pans out. From my position I could see the Manchester United player [Carrick] touch the ball, I saw him get clattered into by the goalkeeper, I wasn't able to see the extra deviation when the goalkeeper got his fingers to the ball.
"I'm disappointed. I always am. I strive for perfection every single time. I'll look at the tape in detail and try to avoid it happening again in the future. I never want to have a negative effect on a game and I get no pleasure from not reaching the high standards we set ourselves. But show me a man who's never made a mistake and I'll show you a man who's done nothing."
