Was The Linesman Right To Award Manchester United A Corner?

Chris Hughton believed the linesman got a key decision wrong in Brighton's defeat at Manchester United.

Hughton was left frustrated as he felt United should not have been awarded the corner which led to their winner when Solly March and Romelu Lukaku battled for the ball during Saturday's Premier League clash at Old Trafford.

United were also indebted to a heavily fortunate winning goal - credited as a Lewis Dunk own goal - as they scraped past the newly promoted side.

Hughton said: "My view at the time was that it wasn't a corner. When the linesman gave it, I presumed he must've seen something but looking again, it wasn't a corner.

"What touched him was Lukaku's foot. I hope I haven't got it wrong but when you see it again, it's not a corner. But we did have an opportunity to clear the ball before that and there is still a bit to happen after that."
