Howard Webb has given his verdict on key VAR Premier League decisions, with Man United's penalty scare against Wolves one of the decisions mentioned
Manchester United benefited from a referee blunder in their Premier League opener with Wolves, says chief refereeing officer Howard Webb.
Referee Simon Hooper opted against giving a foul while VAR official Michael Salisbury upheld the decision. The audio between the pair was played as part of an episode of ‘Match Officials Mic’d Up’ on Sky Sports on Tuesday, showing viewers some of the VAR decisions from the opening month of the season.On the show, Webb said Hooper should have been sent to the screen and if he had been, a spot-kick would likely have been awarded.
"We see the VAR going through the checking phase while the penalty is not awarded. He starts to go down the road of recommending a review, but then he sort of overthinks it a little bit. "We acknowledged that as an error in the opening week which was of course disappointing. But we'll try going forward to ensure that type of error doesn't happen again."
