Premier League have just announced the shocking VAR Error By referees of Manchester United vs Bournemouth- PGMOL under scrutiny over surprising VAR mistake made by The Referee during the Man United vs Bournemouth match after not awarding Bournemouth a late penalty
Manchester United secured a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium, with Bruno Fernandes’ penalty kick being the decisive factor in the match. The opportunity to improve their position in the standings, surpassing Newcastle United, was possible in their Premier League match against the Cherries. However, the visitors were unable to fully take advantage of this opportunity and ended up in seventh place on Saturday, behind fourth-placed Aston Villa by 10 points.
Dominic Solanke scored the opening goal for the Cherries in the 16th minute, successfully evading Willy Kambwala and then placing the ball past Andre Onana. The captain of Manchester United, Fernandes, equalized the score with a sudden and unexpected goal, causing both the players on the field and the away fans to express a collective sense of relief.
The home team’s dominance was regained due to a catastrophic display of defending, characterized by a lack of coordination between Kambwala and Diogo Dalot. This allowed Justin Kluivert to find himself in a vast amount of open space, which was facilitated by Marco Senesi. The Dutchman capitalized on the opportunity and reclaimed the lead for the home team only nine minutes after they had been equalized. The Red Devils entered the halftime break behind by one goal, having been significantly outperformed throughout the first 45 minutes.
Fernandes, a very skilled midfielder in the Premier League, equalized the score on the south coast by converting a penalty in the 65th minute. However, the manner in which it occurred has raised concerns, since Adam Smith, the person responsible, was left confused by referee Tony Harrington’s decision to award a penalty.
As Ten Hag’s team was counterattacking, Kobbie Mainoo positioned himself to take a shot. Bournemouth’s Ryan Christie thwarted the youngster’s goal-bound attempt at the outside of their penalty area. After rebounding off the Scotsman, the ball soared towards Smith, who made no effort to alter the trajectory of the ball with his arm.
Nevertheless, Harrington firmly believed that Smith’s handball was deliberate, resulting in Manchester United equalizing for the second time in the match and securing a portion of the points while playing away from home. Smith was seen shaking his head in astonishment only moments after Fernandes scored the equalizing goal.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Manchester United have only emerged victorious in one out of their previous seven Premier League matches, namely against Everton in a 2-0 triumph.
During the added time of the second half, Manchester United seemed to have made a detrimental mistake once again. Kambwala, who had difficulty restraining Solanke’s strength during the whole game, was penalized for bringing down Christie. The referee awarded a penalty in favor of Andoni Iraola’s team, who are also competing for a top-half position.
A conversation over VAR ensued due to the ambiguity around whether the contact took place outside the penalty area of the visiting team. Subsequently, the referee reversed the ruling, resulting in Bournemouth being awarded a free-kick. Iraola and his team will feel disappointed not to have achieved their 12th Premier League victory.
