Matic reveals what Fernandes said about the penalty
Nemanja Matic revealed that Bruno Fernandes instantly told her that he received the ball after a challenge with West Brom’s Conor Gallagher.
Referee David Coote initially awarded a penalty against the Manchester United player in the second half of their close encounter with the Baggies, only to overturn his decision after seeing the incident again on the field side monitor.
The decision caused controversy, with United later being awarded a penalty of their own for a hand by Darnell Furlong, which was converted by Fernandes to make it 1-0, after a restart.
That was enough for United to win all three points, as Matic spoke to MUTV after the match about the penalty incidents:
“Bruno immediately said that he had the ball at the beginning. The referee gave the penalty but the VAR is there to see and make correct decisions. That’s why people did VAR, to reduce errors and make correct decisions.
“I think it was not a penalty and I am happy that it was canceled.
“It’s not easy when you shoot the first and the goalkeeper gets out of line, and scare the second. I’m happy that he (Fernandes) had the concentration ”.
