Referee Andy Madley's late call during Everton vs Man Utd was a controversial one

Premier League referee Andy Madley is back under the spotlight after a controversial late call during Everton's 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Saturday.

"VAR checked the referee’s call of penalty to Everton for a challenge by Maguire on Young and deemed that no foul had been committed and recommended an on-field review," their statement read.

Everton went 2-0 up in the first half thanks to goals from Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure, but United came roaring back after the break, with Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte both netting stunning strikes to level the tie.



The result means David Moyes' side remain a point above Ruben Amorim's in the Premier League, though they'll understandably feel as if the gap ought to be larger.

It isn't the first Madley performance that has stirred the pot this season.

Another added: "Can we sack Madley at half time?

Bet the ref’s gutted," he wrote after United's shootout win.
