In the ninth round of a Premier League game that ended in the early morning of November 22, Manchester United was promoted to West Bromwich 1-0 in the away game, successfully winning two consecutive victories, and temporarily surpassing Manchester City and Arsenal in the standings. , Came to the 9th place. However, despite the successful 3 points, Manchester United has created controversy in this campaign, because the referee on duty is suspected of "hacking" an opponent's penalty.
This scene took place in the 47th minute of the game, when West Brom’s No. 18 player Gallagher grabbed the ball in the Manchester United penalty area and was kicked to the calf by Portuguese international Bruno Fernandez. Immediately after Gallagher fell to the ground, he signaled to the referee that he was violated, and the referee on duty Kurt also chose to award West Brom a penalty.
But what is incredible is that VAR then stepped in and reminded Kurt. After Kurt went to the sidelines to watch the replay, he finally overturned his penalty penalty and Manchester United also managed to escape. You must know that the score was 0 to 0, if West Brom takes a penalty kick and takes the lead. Whether Manchester United, whose mentality has changed, can be reversed is undoubtedly an unknown. Regarding this sentence, Chelsea’s main left-back, Chilwell, who watched the live broadcast, also expressed his incomprehension. He angrily rebuked: “The penalty was changed? I really don’t know what the referee thought!”
Shortly after the cancellation of the penalty, Manchester United broke the deadlock in the 56th minute, and this time they also won the penalty. At that time, Mata made a pass from the left side of the penalty area, and Ferrand blocked a penalty kick with his hand. Bruno Fernandez's penalty shot was saved in the lower right corner, but the playback showed that Johnstone's legs left the goal line and Bruno Fernandez was heavy. A penalty kick was taken into the upper left corner. In this way, Manchester United successfully went from 0 to 1 to 1 to 0.
It can be said that the Red Devils' 3 points are indeed a bit thrilling. In the whole game, Manchester United 17 shots and 7 shots on target, but in the end they only relied on a penalty to take 3 points. Next, Manchester United will usher in the good state of Nanan Ulton and West Ham United in the Premier League. Only by improving the ability to grasp opportunities in front of the goal can the Red Devils return to the top four ranks as soon as possible.
