Wolverhampton: So, there’s been a bit of a stir over a recent match between Wolves and Manchester United. PGMOL chief Howard Webb is backing the referees after Matheus Cunha scored directly from a corner kick. Can you believe that?
It all went down during a 2-0 loss for Man United on Boxing Day, which was just one of those rough patches for them this season. Before the game even started, there was a lot happening behind the scenes. Wolves had just fired their manager, Gary O’Neil, and brought in Vitor Pereira. Talk about a shake-up!
Plus, Wolves had lost their last two games, so they were really feeling the pressure. And let’s not forget about Cunha, who was under investigation for elbowing an Ipswich Town staff member. He ended up scoring against Man United right before his suspension was announced. Wild, right?
Now, the goal itself was a hot topic. Man United claimed that Andre Onana was blocked by Matt Doherty, making it impossible for him to save the shot. But the referee and VAR decided to let it stand. They’ve just released audio of the officials discussing the call, and it’s pretty interesting.
In the audio, VAR Donohue said they didn’t see any foul play. Webb is confident they made the right call, even if it ruffled some feathers at Man United. He explained that players have the right to their positions on the field, and it’s all part of the game.
Webb mentioned that goalkeepers are often in tough spots during set pieces, but in this case, he didn’t see any foul. It’s just one of those moments in football where things get a bit controversial!
