On the evening of November 5, Beijing time, exclusive news from the British authoritative media "The Times" that the referee of the English Premier League Webber determined that at the last moment of the West Ham 2-1 Manchester United match in the 9th round of the Premier League, Manchester United central defender De Ligt was wrongly judged.
It is reported that Webb has expressed his opinion that he believes that the penalty was a mistake. Next week, he will appear on the show to discuss a number of controversial decisions, and the penalty is expected to be discussed, although the schedule for the show has not yet been finalized. The Key Match Events Panel, an independent body responsible for reviewing major referee decisions in the Premier League, also found the decision to be a miscarriage after the game.
In a key match in the 9th round of the Premier League on the 27th of last month, Manchester United lost 1-2 away to West Ham United. In the final moments of the game, West Ham United striker Ince went down after confronting De Ligt in the United penalty area.
At the time, referee Coote didn't say anything at the time, but at the suggestion of VAR Oliver, he then went to the sidelines to check the replay. After reviewing the VAR for almost two minutes, Coote awarded a penalty.
This sparked strong dissatisfaction among Manchester United's generals and then-manager Ten Hag. In the end, however, Coote did not change the penalty and West Ham scored the penalty to beat Manchester United 2-1.
Sadly, the decision changed the outcome of the game and led directly to the sacking of then-Manchester United manager Ten Hag. Of course, given Ten Hag's continued sluggish performances since the start of the new season, even if there was no penalty miscalculation, it may only be a matter of time before he is sacked by the United hierarchy if he does not make important adjustments.
