In the 26th round of the Premier League, Manchester United avoided defeat in Liverpool, coming from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Everton.
In added time, Everton had a chance to snatch a victory. In the 90+4th minute, Harry Maguire and Ashley Young were tussling in Manchester United's penalty area, with Young eventually falling to the ground. The referee pointed to the penalty spot, but after a video review, the penalty was overturned.
Everton's head coach, David Moyes, stated after the match that he disagreed with the decision to cancel the penalty.
Quote: "I think the referee made the right decision at the time, and he should have stuck with it.
I think everyone who watches football wants to see a referee who stands by his decisions. What we saw was clear and obvious, and it shouldn’t have gone to review. I really don’t know who you’d blame for the decision. I just don’t think VAR needed to get involved in this," Moyes said after the game.
Reminder: After 26 rounds of the Premier League, Everton sits in 14th place in the standings.
