Erik ten hag has broken his silence about the decision of the video assistance referee (VAR) to not award a penalty to Manchester United. This latest news comes as a complete surprise
The Belgian footballer was curiously given a free pass after his boot struck his opponent’s chest in the visitors’ box in the second half. “It’s a penalty for all football players throughout the world,” the German told Sky Sports.
The 56-year-old went on to say, “He can only hit the ball because his foot is right there.” Yes, they say ‘hit the ball’. But if the ball is not present, he kills him, so the foot has no bearing on the situation.
Strangely, despite analyzing the situation, VAR chose not to intervene or request that the on-field official investigate further.
Jurgen Klopp is right about Doku’s challenge on MacAllister. Sky Sports employees are already performing mental gymnastics to explain the judgment in question, which is simply mind-blowing.
Please be honest! It was a penalty. If it had been the other way around, it would still have been a penalty! Our manager’s ability to maintain his composure despite witnessing his side being robbed in broad daylight is impressive, but hey-ho! We continue on, second in the table by goal difference behind league leaders Arsenal. Most importantly, there is still time to compete for the title this season!
