Premier League controversial penalty! Manchester United lost penalty again, Walker escaped, Dream Theater booed

In the third round of the Premier League in 2025-26, Manchester United played against Burnley at home. After Walkera turned down Mount, the referee made a controversial penalty and canceled the penalty after looking back at the slow motion.

In the 15th minute, Walker made a mistake in clearing, Mount intercepted the ball and broke into the penalty area and was knocked down by Walker, and the referee awarded a penalty kick. Walker's pulling people was very obvious, and the key to the penalty was whether Mount entered the penalty area when he fell to the ground.

Legend Merson pointed out, "Mont's touching skills are excellent and he adjusts his body to the right position. Everything he does is right because he is not faster than Walker. The contact point between the two starts outside the penalty area, and neither of them touches the ball." After looking back at the slow motion, the referee made a change and canceled the penalty. After announcing his decision, the referee also explained his decision to Fernandez, and the fans on the scene gave a huge boo.

"Sky Sports" explained, "The VAR team believes that this is not a penalty kick, because Walker let go in time when entering the penalty area, and Mount also grabbed Walker's jersey." However, "Sky Sports" also believed that the referee made a mistake, "I'm not sure why he didn't award a free kick to Manchester United."
