‘Something is not right’ – Ex-Premier League referee ‘amazed’ West Ham penalty against Man Utd was given

I AM amazed referee David Coote overturned his determination — a punishment should not person been awarded.

It was thing much than a coming unneurotic and resulted successful a game-changing determination that cost Manchester United.

Danny Ings mislaid the shot and past Matthijs de Ligt made minimal interaction with the West Ham striker’s shin.

The Premier League’s Match Centre said Man Utd defender De Ligt made “sufficient contact” connected Ings to merit a penalty.

But it is simply a interaction athletics — this should ne'er beryllium capable for a foul.

Coote had a large presumption and helium was initially spot connected not to grant a penalty.

Referees’ main Howard Webb does not privation VAR intervening with subjective calls that are not wide and obvious.

This was a classical lawsuit of that — the incidental was re-refereed.

VAR Michael Oliver recommended a pitch-side review, past Coote crumbled and changed his decision, similar truthful galore different referees bash successful that situation.

Something is not close with the grooming and acquisition astatine the PGMOL.
