In their 2-1 victory over Manchester United, West Ham was given a penalty, and the Premier League has explained why.
After Matthijs De Ligt and Danny Ings fought, referee David Coote decided not to award the spot-kick. VAR Coote was instructed by Michael Oliver to watch the situation on the pitchside monitor.
Cyrensio Summerville’s first goal was cancelled out by Casemiro, and Jarrod Bowen scored the penalty. According to the Premier League, the VAR suggested an on-field review after concluding that Ings’ lower leg had made enough contact. The referee gave a penalty after reversing his initial ruling.
