Match of the Day pundits Danny Murphy and Martin Keown have slammed the decision not to award Newcastle a penalty when Raphael Varane collided with Callum Wilson in the first half of Sunday’s stalemate at Old Trafford.
The Manchester United defender made contact with Wilson early on in the contest, leading to appeals from the travelling players and fans. But referee Craig Pawson promptly waved away the protests, much to the annoyance of the Newcastle players.
Murphy and Keown were both left bemused by the decision. The latter said Pawson “without doubt” should have pointed to the spot.
