"...When Ferguson does go, Andy Cole, recently awarded a long-term contract, would be bound to miss him - and here the striker got into practice by missing two luminous chances. Had Cole not made hashes of a header before the interval and a shot after, Tottenham would have fallen behind and United been afforded an excellent opportunity to avoid ending the season with a third consecutive defeat... ...The Tottenham goalkeeper then took off to save a 30-yard drive from Ryan Giggs before relief arrived in the form of some classic Cole profligacy: a predictable shot from an implausible angle while Teddy Sheringham, stealing into space to his left, was ignored; a header firmly directed several yards off target despite the paucity of marking. Cole somehow contrived to improve on this, surging past Chris Perry to miskick Sheringham's deft pass so far wide that the exposed Sullivan seemed incredulous. And thnited were soon level, Phil Neville's cross being headed back across goal for Paul Scholes to beat Neil Sullivan.
