"Ruben Amorim's team were awarded a penalty deep into second-half stoppage time when Jaidon Anthony was penalised for grabbing Amad Diallo's shirt inside the area. Referee Sam Barrott initially waved play on, but after reviewing the incident on the pitchside monitor he awarded the spot-kick and Bruno Fernandes held his nerve to earn the hosts a 3-2 victory. "It's the way the game has gone - quadruple checking everything every minute," Parker told BBC Match of the Day."
"The controversy at Old Trafford came after two highly contentious decisions in Chelsea's 2-0 triumph over Fulham in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off. Referee Rob Jones ruled out Fulham teenager Josh King's 21st-minute goal for a foul in the build-up, before Enzo Fernandez scored from the penalty spot after a Trevoh Chalobah cross had struck Ryan Sessegnon's arm.

Chelsea's 2-0 win over Fulham also featured contentious VAR calls, including Rob Jones ruling out Josh King's goal and a penalty for Enzo Fernandez.
