MUN 1-1 BUR: Why Man United Should have been awarded a penalty in the stoppage time

opera.com 2024/5/18

Manchester United were held to a draw against Burnley at Old Trafford in today's Premier League game and the result has also made them drop two points on the league table. Meanwhile, Manchester United should have been awarded a penalty in the stoppage time for some reason.

Burnley saw many chances to hurt Manchester United in the first half and Andre Onana denied them in most of their chances. The Cameroon goalkeeper was Manchester United's best player of the half. Antony also saw some chances to score but his shooting skill let him down. The host created several goal-scoring chances in the second half and eventually scored through Antony. Burnley equalized from the spot through Zeki Amdouni's strike.

Erik Ten Hag's men might not make the top four at the end of the season as they are now twelve points behind fourth place Aston Villa on the table.

However, Manchester United should have been awarded a penalty when Antony's shot met the hand of a Burnley player in the stoppage time. Surprisingly, VAR didn't give it as a penalty.
