Scholes was sent off for two bookable offences, however his second yellow card looked debatable as both he and Spurs' Tom Huddlestone slid in for the ball.
'I didn't see any sending off in what he did at all,' Sir Alex said after the game.
'I've watched it on a replay twice now and I think the Tottenham boy caught him more than Paul caught the boy.
'He was sent off because his name is Paul Scholes.
'It was a terrible decision,' he added.
After Jermain Defoe opened the scoring with a spectacular overhead kick, goals from Ryan Giggs, Anderson and Wayne Rooney earned United three points and saw them move to second in the Premier League.
'It was always going to be hard game,' said Ferguson.
'Tottenham are in great form and they got off to a fantastic start in the first minutes of the game.
'It was a marvellous finish from Defoe but it was early in the game, there were still 90 minutes to play. We had to gather our game and show composure.'
