Three referees ‘dropped’ over Wolves penalty controversy against Man United
Despite protests from the Wolves players, the referee and VAR officials did not review the incident, causing frustration.
Referee Simon Hooper, VAR Micheal Salisbury, and assistant VAR Richard West have been suspended from officiating this week’s Premier League matches due to their handling of the incident involving Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana and two Wolves players.
Despite protests from the Wolves players, the referee and VAR officials did not review the incident, causing frustration.
Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher slammed the decision and stated that the call was so clear, it should have been made on the pitch by Hooper.
“When you look at the images, I feel the referee on the field should get it,” he told Sky Sports.
“If you see where Simon Hooper is stood and how far Andre Onana comes, he comes a long way and Simon can see it all the way through. Onana crashes into the player and it just has to be given as a penalty. It’s got to be a foul.”
