Premier League issues statement on VAR controversy as Man Utd draw 2-2 at Everton

The Premier League released a statement on Saturday explaining why a penalty was not awarded against Manchester United at the end of their 2-2 draw at Everton.

Referee Andy Madley had initially pointed to the spot after Ashley Young was brought down by a combination of Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt.

However, the officials on VAR duty sent Madley to the monitor, and he overturned his decision upon review.

The Premier League has now clarified the decision.

A statement read: “VAR checked the referee’s call of a penalty to Everton for a challenge by Maguire on Young and deemed that no foul had been committed, recommending an on-field review. The referee overturned the original decision, and play restarted with a drop ball.”

Everton fans booed Madley at the final whistle, while Young was pictured in deep conversation with the referee.

It was not the only VAR controversy at Goodison Park. Beto’s opener was reviewed during a four-minute delay, with an explanation eventually given as to why the goal was allowed to stand.
