Coventry mounted a comeback, which presented the Red Devils with an unexpected challenge, despite the fact that they had initially dominated the game with a 3-0 lead owing to goals scored by Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire, and Bruno Fernandes from the Red Devils.
When Ellis Simms and Callum O’Hare scored goals, the difference between the two teams shrunk, which set the stage for a suspenseful conclusion at Wembley Stadium.
A penalty kick was given to Coventry by referee Rob Jones in the final stages of the match because Aaron Wan-Bissaka had committed a handball within the penalty area.
Even though the video assistant referee (VAR) review supported the decision made on the field, Haji Wright was able to convert the penalty kick, which caused the fans of Coventry to celebrate and forced the game into extra time.
Many supporters of United have expressed their dissatisfaction with the judgment, citing what they perceive to be inconsistency in comparison to an event that occurred in a previous match involving Jack Grealish that was quite similar.
There was a supporter who expressed their dissatisfaction with the fact that Grealish’s handball and Wan-Bissaka’s handball were both unpunished.
The refereeing was criticized by another individual for what appeared to be a lack of consistency, and other others questioned the gap that existed between the two events.
Fans are left feeling confused and annoyed as a result of what they believe to be inconsistent choices made by referees when the game is being played.
