In a shocking turn of events, the Premier League has confirmed that VAR dismissed Ashley Young’s penalty claim using incorrect footage. As a result, Everton will be awarded three points, in a decision that has sent shockwaves throughout the football community.
According to reports, the VAR officials mistakenly reviewed footage from a different angle, which did not clearly show the foul committed by the Manchester United player. The correct footage, which has since been released, clearly shows that Young was indeed fouled inside the penalty area.
The Premier League has apologized for the mistake, stating that it was an “error of the highest order” and that steps will be taken to ensure that such mistakes do not happen in the future.
Everton fans are ecstatic with the news, taking to social media to celebrate the unexpected windfall. The three points will be a significant boost to Everton’s league standings, potentially lifting them out of the relegation zone.
Manchester United, on the other hand, will be disappointed with the decision, feeling that they have been unfairly penalized. However, the club has accepted the decision and will move forward, focusing on their upcoming matches.
The incident has sparked a wider debate about the use of VAR in football, with many calling for improvements to the system to prevent such mistakes from happening in the future.
