In the stoppage time of the second half, Manchester United’s Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana took a few steps forward and dived towards Sasha Kaladzic and Craig Dawson, two Wolverhampton players, who collided with Kaladzic in the meantime. In the slow footage, it is clear that Onana’s hands, who played his Premier League debut for Manchester United last night, do not touch the ball and instead collide with the Wolves player, but the referee did not recognize this scene as a penalty despite the use of VAR.
Following this incident, the English Professional Referee Committee (PGMOL) decided not to include the names of Simon Hooper, the referee of last night’s game, Michael Salisbury, his assistant referee, and Richard West, the VAR (Video Assistant Referee) of last night’s game, in the list of referees for the second week. Salisbury was previously suspended in April for making mistakes during Brighton’s controversial defeat to Tottenham.
