Should West Ham have had a penalty?
A controversial moment came in the 57th minute, when Dimitri Payet showed his class with the ball on his feet, waltzing past Michael Carrick before being brought down under pressure from Daley Blind inside the box. Replays showed that Blind was nowhere near the ball and jumped in the way of the French midfielder to impede his path.
On most days that would have been given, but referee Roger East thought otherwise and didn’t feel there was enough in it to warrantee a penalty. Some might argue in Manchester United’s favour saying that Payet was looking for contact and went down too easily. Either way, it was a massive let-off for Manchester United.
