The chief refereeing officer of the Premier League, Howard Webb, has admitted that West Ham United were wrongly awarded a penalty by the Video Assistant Referee, VAR, in their 2-1 win at home to Manchester United.
The defeat ultimately resulted in Erik ten Hag being fired by the Red Devils.
With the game level at 1-1 in the 89th minute, Matthijs de Ligt clashed with Danny Ings inside the penalty area.
Referee David Coote waved play on, but he was advised to review the incident on the pitchside monitor by the VAR, Michael Oliver.
A penalty kick was eventually awarded, which Jarrod Bowen dispatched to give the Hammers victory.
Ten Hag was fired the following morning.
