Following an incident involving Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana against Burnley, PGMOL chief Howard Webb explained that learnings throughout the season influenced the penalty decision. This incident follows an earlier one with a similar offense that went unpunished. The decision reflects the league’s commitment to consistency in officiating.
Manchester United goalkeeper André Onana’s costly mistake handed Sheffield United an early advantage in their Premier League clash at Old Trafford. Onana’s misdirected pass allowed Jayden Bogle to score the game’s opening goal, sparking frustration among United fans who have been critical of the Cameroon international’s performances since joining from Ajax in the summer.
Andre Onana should have been sent off during Manchester United’s FA Cup semi-final win over Coventry, according to Jeff Stelling. Onana was booked during normal time and picked up an additional yellow during the penalty shootout, but according to the laws of the game, yellow cards picked up during the game are reset during a shootout. Stelling believes that Onana should have been shown a second yellow card for time-wasting after he went behind his goal and took a swig of water. Despite United ultimately reaching the FA Cup final, it’s hard not to feel they did so in an embarrassing fashion.
