Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim believed Arsenal’s winning goal in the teams’ Premier League match at Old Trafford on Sunday should have been disallowed for a “clear” foul in the buildup.
United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir was put off by Arsenal defender William Saliba as an inswinging corner was delivered by Declan Rice in the 13th minute. As Saliba backed into Bayindir, the goalie flapped at the ball and only managed to knock it across the line toward Riccardo Calafiori, who nodded in from close range.
That ultimately secured a 1-0 win for Arsenal and Amorim was disappointed the goal was allowed to stand.
