West Ham defeated Manchester United 2-1 on Sunday, and the Premier League has explained why they were awarded a penalty.

Matthijs De Ligt collided with Danny Ings, but referee David Coote did not give the spot-kick.

However, Coote was advised by VAR Michael Oliver to watch the event on the pitchside monitor.

After Cyrensio Summerville’s first goal was cancelled out by Casemiro, Jarrod Bowen subsequently scored the game-winning penalty past Andre Onana.

According to a Premier League statement that was soon made public, “The referee did not award a penalty to West Ham for a challenge by De Ligt on Ings.

“The VAR deemed there was sufficient contact on Ings’ lower leg and recommended an on-field review.

“The referee overturned his original decision and awarded a penalty.”
