A foul on the Man United attacker led to the winning spot-kick, although one ex-striker thinks Rashford pulled the wool over referee Stuart Attwell's eyes.
Mike Dean has slammed Chris Sutton's suggestion that Marcus Rashford dived to win a penalty for Manchester United against Nottingham Forest.
Former Premier League winner Chris Sutton went one further, suggesting Rashford had conned referee Stuart Attwell - something former top-flight referee Dean pushed back against. “Had this been the other way around, would the visitors have been awarded a penalty? Steve Cooper does not seem to think so. When a United player drops down in the box, the threshold for a penalty never seems to be as high as it is for their opponents.”
“You may think their penalty against Nottingham Forest was harsh, but there was enough in Danilo’s challenge on Marcus Rashford for it to be awarded. Attwell saw that Rashford was caught by Danilo and VAR Robert Jones verified that it was not a clear and obvious error.
