The decision to give West Ham a penalty in extra time against Manchester United on Sunday has made former Tottenham player Jamie O’Hara very angry. Even though the Hammers won 2-1 at the London Stadium, the game was not without debate and excitement, especially near the end.

The Hammers took the lead through Crysencio Summerville, even though United dominated the first half and had a number of clear-cut chances. Erik ten Hag’s team scored an equalizer through Casemiro, but an offside call gave West Ham a chance to go ahead again.

David Coote was sent to the sidelines to look at the video after Matthijs de Ligt seemed to hit Danny Ings in the area. He changed his mind about giving West Ham a penalty. After the free kick, Jarrod Bowen scored from 12 yards out to give Julen Lopetegui’s team all three points.

Many people have talked about whether or not giving the sentence was the right thing to do, and O’Hara is the latest person to say what he thinks about the choice. “The ball bounces up and it is a 50/50,” he told Sky Sports. They both went for it, though they were both a little hesitant. Ings is already on his way down, though. He wants to get a penalty, but De Ligt does not really catch him.

“None of them really hits it, and you see them do things in the box all the time.” It seems very harsh to me. The ref has not said that on the field, and VAR has sent him over to the monitor to do so. He took a moment to think about it and then said, “Am I really giving that a penalty?”

“I will not stand for it; it changes the rules of the game. The judge has seen it, but he has not given it.” That is not a real foul because there is not enough touch. It is not very clear or obvious, and it is not a huge mistake.

Meanwhile, Ten Hag made it sound like he did not believe the judge and VAR were right. “Before the season, there was guidance that VAR should only step in for clear and obvious mistakes,” he told BBC Sport. That was not a clear and obvious mistake by the judge on the field.
