"Manchester United" on Sunday played a 0-0 draw away with London's "Chelsea." During and after the match, the most discussions on social networks and among football experts were caused by the episode when "Chelsea" player Callum Hudson-Odoi handled the ball in the penalty area, but the referee did not dare to award a penalty kick after VAR review. After the game, "Red Devils" defender Luke Shaw said that the referee explained to Harry Maguire that he did not want to award a penalty kick due to possible speculation. "If the episode is not worth a penalty kick, I do not understand why you need to go to the VAR monitor and review it. The referee told Maguire that if he awarded the penalty, it would cause a storm of debates. Maguire told him that the penalty should have been awarded. I do not understand why they needed to stop the game then. VAR really complicates everything. I am certainly not going to cry about this decision because I do not think that either of the teams in this match deserved to win," L. Shaw spoke with "Sky Sports."
