The meeting of the 1st day of the Premier League between Manchester United and Wolverhampton (1-0) was marked by a penalty not whistled for the visitors in added time.
Manchester United relied on a goal from Raphaël Varane in the 76th minute to beat Wolverhampton (1-0) on Monday evening, closing the first day of the Premier League. But the Red Devils should have been sanctioned with a penalty in added time, after a dangerous exit from their goalkeeper André Onana, who missed the ball and collided with Wolves striker, Sasa Kalajdzic.
“How can it not be a penalty? I don’t understand how it can’t be a penaltyconsultant Danny Murphy choked after the meeting. It’s called incompetence. I try to be positive and open-minded with the referees, but when you see that, there’s no more obvious penalty than that.
“I can understand that the referee missed that, adds Murphy. There were a lot of players in the box, but not being recommended to take a look is just unbelievable. The VAR team must be questioned because it is incompetence at the highest level. »
The boss of the English referees has also himself recognized that there was a big mistake there. “I spoke to Jon Moss and he apologized, he said it was an obvious penalty”, said Wolverhampton coach Gary O’Neil at a press conference. In the meantime, that’s certainly down a point on the clock for Wolves… and two more points for Manchester United.
Yes, that should be a stonewall penalty after Onana punched Kalajdzic and completely missed the ball! pic.twitter.com/F7xb5JZeyK
