BIZARRE: Why manchester united should have conceded a penalty vs west ham - What They Never Told You

Former Premier League referee Peter Walton believes West Ham United should have had a penalty in the first half of their game against Manchester United, following an alleged handball by Victor Lindelof.

United endured a torrid opening 45 minutes at the London Stadium, with David De Gea's horrible mistake allowing a weak shot from Said Benrahma to trickle in and make it 1-0 to the home side. The Reds enjoyed the majority of possession but may have counted themselves fortunate not to have gone in further behind.

There were massive claims for a spot-kick towards the end of the first half when Benrahma's cross seemed to strike the arm of Lindelof. The Sweden international was far enough away to react and, despite his arm being close to his body, did seem to move it towards the ball.
