Howard Webb reveals how officials made blunder in not awarding Wolves a penalty at Old Trafford last month as referees' chief explains VAR decisions on new Premier League show

In a new directive for greater transparency on the big decisions across the Premier League, refereeing chief Howard Webb has revealed why Wolves were not awarded a penalty late in their defeat at Manchester United.

Webb was speaking on the PGMOL's first Match Officials Mic'd Up show, joined by Michael Owen in the studio for the 26-minute programme.

One of the most controversial decisions was Simon Hooper's decision not to punish Man United goalkeeper Andre Onana for a reckless collision with Wolves' Sasa Kalajdzic.

Webb swiftly contacted Wolves in the aftermath to apologise for Hooper's mistake - which cost them a golden opportunity of a point at Old Trafford - and he has now expanded on exactly how Gary O'Neil's side were failed by VAR that night.
