Regarding the dubious call that resulted in Manchester United’s loss to Manchester City, Dermot Gallagher has voiced his opinions.
Manchester United lost their 11th game of the season on Sunday, falling to their neighbors 3-1.
Marcus Rashford gave United the lead with a spectacular goal, but Manchester City rallied for a 3-1 victory behind goals from Phil Foden twice and late Erling Haaland.
Erik ten Hag, nevertheless, was left to dispute two significant calls made by referee Andrew Madley, which he believed had a role in United’s loss.
Ten Hag argued that before Foden’s equalizer, Kyle Walker should have given United a free kick because Rashford had been knocked off the ball.
The Dutchman also believed United should have been awarded a penalty when Alejandro
Goalie Ederson tackled Garnacho after he raced through on goal late in the game.
When Casemiro made a dangerous challenge on John Stones in the first half, City also demanded a penalty.
Dermot Gallagher, a former Premier League referee, has offered his assessment on the three events.
