Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has now had his say on multiple calls that were made during Manchester United\u2019s win over Brighton at Old Trafford.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester United fans<\/a> felt that the Red Devils should have been awarded a penalty during the Premier League match on Saturday after Amad Diallo<\/a> was brought down.<\/p>\n

Brighton full-back Maxim De Cuyper pulled down Amad Diallo and United<\/a> players demanded a penalty, but the Red Devils\u2019 call for a spot-kick effort was dismissed.<\/p>\n

Dermot Gallagher<\/a> has now reacted to referee Anthony Taylor not pointing to the spot and believes that there was one reason why the penalty was not awarded.<\/p>\n

\u201cRefs have been consistent for weeks now, with [Nick] Pope and [Viktor] Gyokeres and [Bukayo] Saka and Kevin \u2013 if you get a touch on the ball, they are not going to give a penalty,\u201d he said on Sky Sports\u2019 Ref Watch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"VARPhoto by Shaun Brooks \u2013 CameraSport via Getty ImagesDermot Gallagher\u2019s verdict on what Luke Shaw did in Man Utd vs Brighton call at Old Trafford<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bryan Mbeumo<\/a> put Manchester United 3-0 up against Brighton<\/a> in the second half at Old Trafford<\/a>, with the Red Devils comfortably leading the clash at the time.<\/p>\n

However, Luke Shaw<\/a> was spotted tugging on the shirt of Brighton\u2019s Georginio Rutter in the build-up, but Anthony Taylor did not step in and deem the incident as a foul.<\/p>\n

VAR did not overturn the decision in United\u2019s 4-2 win over Brighton<\/a> either and Gallagher agrees with the stance that Premier League referee Taylor took in the tie.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlay on,\u201d Gallagher said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe gets a feel of the player. But is it enough? Referee has best position and he says no. VAR says no as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are probably the two best referees in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dermot Gallagher\u2019s reaction to Patrick Dorgu\u2019s \u2018controversial\u2019 incident in Man Utd\u2019s Premier League clash against Brighton<\/strong><\/p>\n

Patrick Dorgu<\/a> came off the bench in the second half in United\u2019s encounter with Brighton and replaced Amad Diallo for the remainder of Saturday\u2019s match.<\/p>\n

However, the 21-year-old Danish full-back almost found himself in hot water and came close to receiving his marching orders after his challenge on Yankuba Minteh.<\/p>\n

Yankuba Minteh was brought down during a Brighton counterattack and Taylor brandished a yellow card for Patrick Dorgu, despite some pleas for a red card.<\/p>\n

However, Gallagher has shut down the idea that Dorgu should have been sent off after claiming that Minteh was not in control of the ball during the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is 100 per cent not a red card, everybody in the world knows,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo criteria: Is he in possession of the ball? No, because his first touch is so heavy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs he likely to gain control of the ball? 100 per cent not because it has run through to the \u2018keeper.\u201d<\/p>\n

United picked up their third consecutive Premier League win under Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim<\/a> and have now climbed to sixth place in the table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has now had his say on multiple calls that were made during…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":531453,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[130405,94,101,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-531452","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-dermot-gallagher","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-premier-league","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115447101929344813","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=531452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531452\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/531453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=531452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=531452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=531452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
