VAR should not get involved in penalty decision - Moyes
Everton manager David Moyes said the video assistant referee should not have intervened after a late penalty decision in his team's favour against Manchester United was overturned.
The sides contested a thrilling 2-2 draw on Saturday, but the Toffees thought they had a golden chance to win it in injury time when referee Andrew Madley awarded a penalty after Ashley Young went down in the box.
There appeared to be a shirt pull by United defender Matthijs de Ligt, with Harry Maguire also in close proximity.
But after being told to review the incident on the pitchside monitor, Madley decided to change his original decision.
