Man United – Wolves officials are excluded from Premier League games

Referees Simon Hooper, Michael Salisbury and Richard West will not officiate Premier League games this weekend after they failed to give a penalty to Wolverhampton in their game against Manchester United on Monday.

Wolves were convinced they should have had a penalty in added time, after Andre Onana crashed into Sasa Kalajdzic in trying to deal with a cross.

Wolves manager Gary O’Neil said the referees’ failure to award a penalty-kick had showcased a grey area in how VAR is used and that referees manager Jon Moss had apologized to him for the error.

Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Gary O’Neil says he received an apology from PGMOL’s Jonathan Moss following the failure to award his side a penalty during Monday’s defeat to Manchester United.

“Jon Moss said it was a blatant penalty and should have been given – fair play to him, he apologized,” O’Neil told reporters. “It probably made me feel worse, actually, because you know you are right. Live, I was told they didn’t think it was a clear and obvious error.”
