Premier League release statement on controversial West Ham penalty as Man Utd and Erik ten Hag left furious at decision
THE PREMIER LEAGUE have released a statement explaining the award of West Ham’s controversial penalty against Manchester United.
Referee David Coote did not give a spot kick after Matthijs de Ligt came together with Danny Ings in the area.
A VAR review took place and Coote was instructed to view the incident on the monitor.
He did so and ended up giving the penalty, before the Premier League made comment on their Match Centre account on X, claiming there was “sufficient contact”.
They said: “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.”
Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag confronted the officials after the game and looked incensed by the decision.
When asked about the controversial call, he said: “Three times this season we feel injustice.
“Unfair and unjust the way we conceded the penalty.

“It was so difficult to see. 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.
“More frustrations but I can do nothing with that. They don’t collect points and that’s what we have to do.
“We have to look in the mirror, we don’t score in a good game from our side. Create loads of chances and concede none but when you lose in this way it’s a bad feeling.”
Asked whether he had talked to the officials, he added: “I spoke with them. But the decision is made. There’s no way back and that’s football.
“That’s a third time I have felt injustice in the season and it has a big impact on our team and on our scores and where we are in the table. It’s not right.”
Man Utd ratings vs West Ham
THE LONDON STADIUM was the venue for the latest defeat in a shocker of a season.
To be fair, it was a hugely controversial VAR call in the dying moments that handed West Ham a 2-1 win.
And the first half from the Red Devils was impressive.
Here’s how SunSport’s Jack Rosser rated the players…
Andre Onana – 6
Very loose with the ball at his feet early on but soon settled.
Manchester United conceded from West Ham’s first shot on target, though given Ings’ deflected strike there was little Onana could have done about it.
Diogo Dalot – 5
Delivered one of the most entertaining missed chances you will see all season – doing so well to clip the ball past Lukasz Fabianski before smashing the ball high and wide of an open goal.
Despite that, had little trouble from those in claret and blue attacking down his side until Summerville was introduced. The former Leeds man tested Dalot a number of times with his pace.
Redeemed himself a touch with the header back in ahead of Casemiro’s equaliser.
Matthijs de Ligt – 6
Hard done by in conceding the penalty for what looked a soft challenge on Hammers striker Ings.
Restricted West Ham well for the most part but United never looked entirely comfortable at the back and a more potent attack could have caused much more trouble.
Lisandro Martinez – 6
Struggled at times to deal with the strength and direct nature of Michail Antonio, who tested all across United’s back line well until he was replaced by Ings.
Noussair Mazraoui – 5
Struggled to keep a handle on both Bowen and former Manchester United man Aaron Wan-Bissaka for the most part and was thrown around by Michail Antonio at times.
Having looked soft at the back he also offered very little going forwards down the left.
Casemiro – 6
Started strongly dominating in the middle but struggled to wrestle that back when West Ham picked up.
Was denied a first half goal by Fabianski’s superb save but got one eventually as he refused to give up and made sure the ball.
Christian Eriksen – 5
Some flashes of creativity in the first half but could not help United keep control in the second after West Ham perked up.
Marcus Rashford – 4
Entirely absent throughout the hour he was on the pitch. Played down the right he was easily managed by Emerson Palmieri who had little of note to do before the winger went off.
Bruno Fernandes – 7
Caused huge problems for West Ham and created plenty of chances which his teammates put to waste.
Fernandes made a fine run to meet a Casemiro cross but headed over the bar and had to watch both Garnacho and Dalot pass up huge chances after his good work to set them up – especially the latter, a wonderful looped ball to cut out the entire West Ham defence.
Alejandro Garnacho – 5
The young winger should have had two goals inside the opening eight minutes. One chance was rattled against the bar before a poor finish sent the second wide of the far post.
He continued to cause trouble down the left but faded as the game went on and crucially gave the ball away in the build-up to Summerville’s goal.
Rasmus Hojlund – 5
Drew a couple of saves from Hammers keeper Fabianski but neither looked too difficult.
The Dane was rather comfortably dealt with by West Ham’s central defenders and never looked too much of a threat.
Substitutes
Amad Diallo – 6
Added some life and threat to a forward line which had offered little after the break and lifted a clever ball over to Dalot in the build-up to Casemiro’s goal.
Joshua Zirkzee – 5
Claimed an assist but did not know a lot about it and struggled to have an impact from there on.
Victor Lindelof – n/a
Unused subs: Altay Bayindir, Manuel Ugarte, Jonny Evans, Ethan Wheatley, Harry Amass, Jack Fletcher.
Many fans had similar feelings about the decision as they took to social media to vent their frustration.
One said: “That’s a disgrace. The game is gone, I can’t believe I witnessed this being given as a penalty.”
Another added: “Not enough for a penalty. Contact not sufficient. Shouldn’t even have gone to the VAR. United robbed!”
A third replied: “Manchester United were robbed in my opinion. Not a penalty.”
While a fourth responded: “VAR HAS MADE AN ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE MISTAKE!”
The result lifts West Ham above Man Utd into 13th place, one spot above Ten Hag’s men who are already seven points adrift of a Champions League place.
Katie Price shows off her THREE Sphynx cats after being slammed by charity for buying more animals
KATIE Price has shared new pictures of her adorable sphynx cats in a defiant post after being criticised by animal charities.
The 46-year-old star is a long-standing animal lover, but charities have begged her to stop buying pets alleging she doesn’t look after them properly.
Adding three hairless cats to her collection in September, with each pet costing up to £800 a pop, despite being embroiled in ongoing bankruptcy issues.
On Instagram, Katie shared the three pets all bundled up asleep together on a fluffy blanket, calling them “her three wrinkles” due to their distinctive baggy skin.
Katie has been doting on the trio, even taking them for walks in a pram since she got them.
Her post comes after charity PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) called for the need for an injunction to be put in place, stopping the mum-of-five from owning pets.
They had previously offered Katie £5,000 to stop buying pets, which she has not responded to.
PETA UK founder Ingrid Newkirk told The Sun: “If there was a way to file an injunction to stop this serial animal killer, PETA would do so, as this woman doesn’t care about the lives she wastes or listen to vital advice and is still treating live animals like stuffed toys: as disposable.
“If William Hill took totally tasteless bets, the odds would favour those betting on how little time this kitten has on Earth, given the hideous track record of animal deaths in Price’s custody. No one could call it ‘care’.”
The new additions to the family come just a few months after she revealed she had to put down her last “designer” cat, Frog, after being diagnosed with a neurological disease.
She had bought Frog in February for £1,200, naming him in a sweet tribute to her son, Harvey, who loves frogs, but came under fire months later when she shared a video of the pet wrestling with a dog.
Katie had eight pets die in just six years – including four dogs and a horse all getting hit by cars.
She has also given away pets, including an out-of-control Alsatian called Bear for attacking other animals.
At the beginning of the year, Katie gave away a puppy called Tank because he ‘no longer looked cute on Instagram’.
She also currently has a pet pug, named Captain, and avidly looks after horses.
Earlier this week, Katie came under further fire by posting with a greyhound she referred to as “hers” – which many took exception to for the “cruel” nature of the sport.
I won lottery prize but Tesco REFUSED to pay out – all I got was a meal deal… now I’m homeless living on the streets
A LOTTERY winner is facing life on the streets just weeks after a supermarket refused to pay out on his prize.
Kevin Layne, 63, was told by his local Tesco it was against policy to give him his £140 winnings.
He instead just bought a meal deal, and claims he was ultimately banned from the store.
Now Kevin, who suffers with severe asthma, says he is at risk of becoming homeless.
His landlord served him a notice telling him to move out of the houseshare he’s lived in for three years by Friday (October 25).
The Sun understands that the landlord says he is acting perfectly lawfully.
Kevin, from Kidderminster, Worcestershire, returned to the UK four years ago after living in Thailand and China for nearly two decades.
He told the Sun: “I have no references or a permanent job, so finding alternative accommodation is virtually impossible.
“In case you’re wondering, homeless means homeless to me – I returned with a British passport and tried to support myself from day one.
“Now I face homelessness with asthma, inevitably. No paid hotel for me, just a shop doorway.”
Kevin had initially been living in Blackpool on his return to the UK, but when he was offered work in Birmingham he began renting a flat in the centre of Kidderminster.
His rent has been £100 a week ever since.
Kevin said he was given a formal notice to vacate the property or a court order will be sought.
“I’m not used to Britain, I’ve only rented two places while I’ve been back here,” Kevin said.
“One for a year and then this one for three years. I’ve tried to move to others but I can’t get anywhere because my work’s not permanent, I’ve no references, it’s like I’ve just stepped off the f***ing plane again.”
He continued: “It’s getting used to Britain and I can’t get used to it. It’s turned into a place I don’t recognise at all.”
The house share has seven renters, who share two bathrooms and a kitchen.
I have no references or a permanent job, so finding alternative accommodation is virtually impossible. In case you’re wondering, homeless means homeless to me – I returned with a British passport and tried to support myself from day one.
Kevin Layne
Now I face homelessness with asthma, inevitably. No paid hotel for me, just a shop doorway.
Kevin has approached Wyre Forest Council but says they have not provided him emergency accommodation.
“I did go and see them when it all started and they’re useless, I’ve never heard from them since,” he claims.
He understands if the landlord has to apply for a court order it could take several weeks, which will buy him some time.
“It’s depressing, I didn’t think there were things like this here. I’ll have to try and find somewhere, but at the end of the day it’s not that easy,” he said.
“I have to pay for my bank account because it’s one of those virtual ones.
“It’s all the things you have to put up with if you come back to this country. Don’t forget, I’m over 50 so I’m scrap. It’s true.”
Kevin has moved his belongings into storage.
LOTTERY
It comes after Kevin went into his local Tesco in Comberton Hill on August 13 and tried to claim his winnings from the previous Saturday’s Lotto draw, while also picking up a meal deal.
“I paid for my food and then she (the cashier) looked at the lottery ticket and said I can’t pay that, it’s too much,” he previously told The Sun.
“I said it’s £140. I said I put it on here regularly and sometimes I put it on for a month, which is £80. I also put my phone credit on which makes it £90 – sometimes I’ve gone in that shop and paid £100.
“She said you can’t bring that in here,” said Kevin, adding that he was then barred from the shop following a row.
A spokesperson for Allwyn, the National Lottery operator, said: “National Lottery retailers are required to pay out up to £100 in prize money, and up to £500 at their own discretion.”
They added: “It really depends on what Tesco’s own policy is with regards to paying out prizes over £100.”
We understand Tesco tries to pay out on prizes up to £500 where cash is available but it is dependent on how much cash is in tills.
The Sun has contacted Wyre Forest Council for comment.
