Yeah, that does not look good refereeing either, I would also be pissed at the referee. My guesses are that a big 6 team is evolved AND/OR the ManUnited - Wolves was the only game of the day, so more people watched it, therefore more online criticism.
partially for sure, but mainly it’s because it’s 90+ minutes at OT and it went in United’s favor. United sells headlines and United is hated by a lot of people who’s childhood was destroyed by the dominance of SAF, that’s about it, if this was a reverse situation of United not getting the pen, you wouldn’t have a thread on /r/soccer with 2000 comments I can guarantee it.
now that’s stupid, these are basically never given as a pen.
look at this from last season

there are plenty more examples where the gk looks at the ball and clatters the player and I have not seen a penalty foe it in the last several years
The referee already acknowledged his mistake and the PGMOL apologized. In my opinion, the challenge you showed should also be a penalty.
yeah, but you gotta ask yourself why this is getting such headlines while Everton being robbed against Fulham is not really making the rounds.
If you don’t know what I am talking about, I think I made my point.
here it is btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvMAhxkPE48&t=26s
Leno comes out, falls on Tarkowski who is literally just standing there and so the goal gets disallowed.
