United should have had late penalty - Ferguson
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was left to bemoan a controversial late penalty decision as the Barclays Premier League leaders were held at Newcastle.
The Scot was convinced his side should have been awarded a last-gasp spot-kick for Danny Simpson's challenge on Javier Hernandez, only to see referee Lee Probert, who had earlier turned down similar appeals from Peter Lovenkrands, book the Mexican for diving.
Ferguson told Sky Sports: "It was a clear penalty. It's an insult because he's booked him.
"I thought the referee had a good game, but he's let himself down by booking the player.
"If it's not a penalty, fine, but to book him is an insult. There is definitely contact, no doubt about that."
