"Parker's Burnley looked set to claim a valuable point at Manchester United after his side twice fought back to level. Then, with the clock just into added-on time, United winger Amad Diallo had his jersey pulled by Jaidon Anthony as they ran into the area. On-field referee Sam Barrott declined to give a penalty, but was told to review the incident on video and he changed his mind."
""It's the way the game is going," Parker said after the 3-2 loss at Old Trafford. "It's going to become the most sterile game there is. We're probably months or a year away from not celebrating goals. I stand on the touchline, you score a goal and I feel like there's a million things go through your mind, a checklist, was it offside? Did he step on his toe two minutes before? We need to get a computer out.""
Both Burnley and Fulham lost Premier League matches after VAR interventions produced late, decisive decisions. Burnley twice recovered to level at Manchester United but conceded a VAR-awarded penalty in added time after Amad Diallo had his jersey pulled by Jaidon Anthony; the on-field referee initially declined a penalty before reviewing the footage. United also had an earlier first-half penalty decision reviewed by VAR following a tussle between Kyle Walker and Mason Mount. Fulham had an apparent goal by 18-year-old Josh King disallowed after a VAR review judged a careless challenge, prompting visible anger from Fulham manager Marco Silva.
