Why Man City did not receive a second penalty vs Manchester United
30.10.2023 - 16:31 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City have been told the actions of Erling Haaland prior to the tussle with Harry Maguire prevented them from receiving a second penalty against Manchester United on Sunday.
With City 2-0 up at the time, Pep Guardiola's men felt they should have received another penalty when Haaland was brought to the ground by Maguire inside the box. Despite VAR intervening in a similar incident in the first half when Rasmus Hojlund brought down Rodri for a spot kick, the game was allowed to continue after the incident in the second 45.
Discussing both incidents, former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher explained why the first penalty was given and the second was not. Explaining the first on Sky Sports' Ref Watch, he said: "It is difficult to say it is not a foul.

"What people ask is: 'How many are we going to give now?' I think if you look at that, you cannot say it is not a foul, as I say, the problem is going to be whether this is going to be given week in, week out but it is a foul."
Gallagher was then showed footage of the Haaland incident and explained the striker would not have received a penalty even if referee Paul Tierney had spotted it at the time. "I think the difference there is Haaland has got him [Maguire] himself to start with," he explained.
"It doesn't end up with him holding him but they do clash together and they are pulling each other. So I think the referee would not have given a penalty there, even if he had seen it, I think he would have given a foul the other way."
