Fernandes reveals referee's reasoning for overturning penalty in Everton match

The Everton vs. Manchester United match ended with a controversial moment—a late penalty awarded to the hosts was overturned after a VAR review. United captain Bruno Fernandes shared what referee Andrew Madley told him about the decision.

Details: The Portuguese midfielder stated that the challenge was deemed legal, which is why the penalty was rescinded. He also emphasized that United must improve their approach to games, as they only seem to play at their best after conceding.

Quote: “No, no. The referee said the angle was too close to the body, so it didn’t count. We need to do much more, starting with me. Everyone has to push each other to higher standards and finish the season in the best way possible.

We had chances in the second half, but we started too late. We lacked movement. We need to begin games better. Every time we concede and go behind, we start playing and taking risks,” Fernandes said after the match.
