Referee David Coote played on, but was sent to the pitchside monitor by the VAR, Michael Oliver, to award a spot kick. Jarrod Bowen dispatched the penalty to give the Hammers victory.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag, who had been under immense pressure with United suffering their worst-ever start to a Premier League season, was fired the following morning. Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim was appointed as his replacement and started in the role this week.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the Match Officials Mic\u2019d Up show, Webb admitted that the incident did not reach the high bar for a VAR intervention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought it was a misread by the VAR, a VAR that\u2019s normally really talented and reliable, but gets uber-focused in this situation on De Ligt\u2019s leg,\u201d Webb said. \u201cHis [De Ligt\u2019s] leg coming through on to Danny Ings, not making any contact with the ball. The ball\u2019s already past De Ligt as he makes contact with Danny Ings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the VAR sees that as a clear foul.
