Ref Watch: Definitely No United Penalty

Manchester United 1 Swansea City 1

INCIDENT: Marcus Rashford is caught by the onrushing Lukasz Fabianski's arm

SCENARIO: The England international's run into the area is ended after contact with the Swans 'keeper, with referee Neil Swarbrick awarding a spot-kick after some deliberation

DERMOT'S VERDICT: Wrong decision

DERMOT SAYS: I definitely do not think this was a penalty and I cannot understand why the referee gave it.

The reason I say that is if a referee does not see something, I can live with that, it is human nature. What I cannot live with is a referee seeing something that did not happen. And if you see the referee's view, he has gone to the wrong position for whatever reason, he is blocked off by a number of players and he cannot see this decision.

He takes his time to look at his assistant, which is a little bit unfair as I do not think he can see it, and I think in the end he has just gambled and he has gambled wrongly.
