Revealed: The little known rule that meant that Everton's penalty against Man United was revoked, after fans criticized Var “shameful “'s decision

The reasons why Everton's late penalty against Man United was revoked by VAR now have been revealed.

In the final moments of the 2-2 draw in Goodison Park, the fans of the toffee were sent to a frenzy when the referee Andy Madley pointed to the place in the 93rd minute.

The decision occurred after former United Ashley Young player was sent to the floor cane when he was challenged by Harry Maguire and Matthijs of Ligt inside the box.

However, Everton's hopes to snatch a late victory faded when Madley reversed his decision after the official Var Matthew Donohue advised that it was the Matthew Donohue monitor and the game ended 2-2.

The head of the Toffee, David Moyes, was outraged by the decision, but has now revealed why the initial call was annulled.

According ESPNThe incident must be broken down into separate moments, beginning with the call of the referee to grant a penalty for a lack of Maguire in Young.

Everton was denied a late penalty in his 2-2 draw against Manchester United

Ashley Young seemed to be a foul in the penalty area for Harry Maguire or Matthijs de Ligt

After the review, the United defender could be seen with his hand in Young's hip, however, he did not make an effort to hold or pull the Everton wing.

Therefore, the VAR judged that Maguire's efforts were not enough to send young people to the ground and, therefore, saw it as “a clear and obvious error” that had to be revoked.

Then there is Ligt's role in the incident, since he has also seen contact with Young before going to the ground.

The departure states that “he had given the referee the penalty for the actions of the Netherlands, there would have been no VAR review.” However, the referee had penalized Maguire, not Ligt.

Because of this, VAR officials had to decide if Ligt's actions were worthy of a review, if the referee had not given anything.

While the officials believed that De Ligt was holding Young during the passage of the game, they described him as a “fleeting” incident and that the Everton star had an exaggerated fall.

This, therefore, did not comply with the threshold of a clear and obvious error for a penalty.

In addition, due to the fact that Madley opted to penalize Maguire and not from Ligt, he only showed angles reviews that focused on the defender of England. For this reason, the angle of the goal of the goal mouth was not shown.

Speaking after the game, meanwhile, Moyes He insisted that referee Andy Madley was wrong to annul a penalty for a time of injury due to Everton.

The VAR also took an age to decide if Everton's opening goal was on the side, but finally gave it

'I can't understand. He (from Ligt) threw from his shirt, “Moyes said. 'I simply thought that the referee made the right decision at that time and should follow it.

“I think everyone who looks at football is eager to see a referee saying 'no, no, I'm staying with that.'

“If it is absolutely clear and obvious for what we have Var, but I did not think it should be involved.”

'It's frustrating. It seemed to me that it was necessary to pull the shirt. You shouldn't get away with yours by pulling t -shirts.

'I thought it should have been removed or stumbled. It was only when I saw him on the screen when I returned that I saw the tunch of the shirt. Ash has been a front player during most of his career and part of his work is to obtain penalties.
