Moyes Critiques VAR Overturned Penalty in Everton-Man United Draw

David Moyes expressed frustration over a controversial VAR decision that denied Everton a last-minute penalty during their 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Goodison Park. Referee Andrew Madley initially awarded the penalty after Ashley Young was fouled but reversed his decision after consulting VAR, leading Moyes to question the need for VAR involvement in the first place. He noted that there appeared to be a shirt pull by Matthijs De Ligt, which he felt should have warranted a penalty. Despite the disappointment, Moyes praised his injury-hit team for their strong performance, particularly in the first half. Manchester United's coach Ruben Amorim supported the overturning of the penalty, describing the contact as too soft. The Premier League later clarified that the decision was based on the involvement of Harry Maguire, without addressing the shirt pull issue raised by Moyes.
