Jarrod Bowen gives verdict on West Ham penalty vs Man United – and Erik ten Hag won’t like it

Jarrod Bowen has suggested that referee David Coote might have made the wrong decision to award West Ham a stoppage-time penalty during their controversial 2-1 win over Manchester United.

Despite dominating the first half, United fell behind in the 73rd minute. Crysencio Summerville fired home from close-range after getting on the end of Danny Ings’ scuffed shot.

“With penalties you have a routine you know where you’re going. But when you’re waiting you’re thinking shall I go the other way? But I stuck with what I know and stepped up and wanted to dispatch and thankfully I did that.”

Ten Hag, meanwhile, hinted that he didn’t think the referee and VAR made the right call. He told BBC Sport: “Before the season there was the instruction about VAR only interfering in clear and obvious mistakes. That is definitely not a clear and obvious mistake from the on-field referee.”
