Premier League have just announced the shocking VAR Error By referees of Manchester United vs Bournemouth- PGMOL under scrutiny over surprising VAR mistake made by The Referee during the Man United vs Bournemouth match after not awarding Bournemouth a late penalty

Bruno Fernandes’ 12-yard attempt at the Vitality Stadium gave Manchester United a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, and the team split the points thanks to a contentious penalty call. With their Premier League matchup against the Cherries, the visitors had a chance to move up the standings and surpass Newcastle United, but they were unable to seize the opportunity completely, finishing Saturday in seventh position, 10 points behind fourth-place Aston Villa.

In the sixteenth minute, Dominic Solanke scored the opening goal for the Cherries, beating an isolated Willy Kambwala and putting it past Andre Onana. Then, with a seemingly unplanned goal, Manchester United captain Fernandes leveled the score, causing everyone in the away end and on the field to sigh with relief.

Due to poor defense, the home team was able to recover control when Justin Kluivert was discovered by Marco Senesi in acres of space due to Kambwala and Diogo Dalot’s lack of communication. Nine minutes after the Dutchman’s counterattack, they were back in the lead. After being the much worse team for the first forty-five minutes, the Red Devils were down by one goal at the half.

In the 65th minute, Fernandes—one of the top midfielders in the Premier League—turned in a penalty kick to bring the score back to even on the south coast. Referee Tony Harrington’s contentious decision to point to the spot left offending player Adam Smith bewildered, raising doubts about the manner in which it transpired.

As Ten Hag’s team was breaking, Kobbie Mainoo set herself up for a shot. The young player’s attempt seemed to be heading goalward, but Ryan Christie of Bournemouth stopped it just outside their penalty area. The ball bounced off the Scotsman and hurtled in Smith’s direction. Smith did not try to block the ball’s trajectory with his arm.

For the second time in the game, Manchester United overcame a deficit to secure a share of the spoils on the road, thanks to Harrington’s conviction that Smith’s handball was deliberate. Seen shaking his head in shock minutes after Fernandes’ equalizer, Smith was clearly stunned.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Manchester United has only won in one of their previous seven Premier League games, a 2-0 win against Everton.

Manchester United seemed to have shot themselves in the foot once again during the added time in the second half. After Kambwala hauled down Christie, the man in the middle pointed to the spot. However, this time, the call went against Kambwala, who had battled to manage Solanke’s physicality throughout the game. Andoni Iraola’s team, who are also fighting for a top-half finish, won the penalty.

But as it was unclear whether the contact happened within or outside the visiting team’s penalty area, a VAR consultation was necessary. The referee then gave Bournemouth a free-kick after overturning the previous judgment. Iraola and his team will feel let down, as they were not able to secure their 12th Premier League victory.
