Manchester United's manager, Erik ten Hag, attributed their 2-1 loss against West Ham to a controversial penalty. The penalty, scored by Jarrod Bowen, was awarded after a VAR intervention led by Michael Oliver, which prompted referee David Coote to reverse his initial decision not to penalize United's Matthijs De Ligt for an encounter with Danny Ings.
The game at London Stadium saw an opening goal from West Ham's Crysencio Summerville, later equalized by Casemiro of Manchester United. Despite several opportunities, ten Hag criticized his team's failure to secure a lead, emphasizing the necessity for resilience, which they demonstrated to draw the match.
The United manager expressed dissatisfaction with the decision, marking it as the third contentious incident this season.
