Worrall was deemed to be the last man when he fouled Bruno Fernandes, even though team-mate Willy Boly was close at hand. And the spot-kick was converted by Fernandes to earn the points for United, who had trailed 2-0 early in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to <span>Mail Sport<\/span> football editor Ian Ladyman on the brand new podcast &#8216;It&#8217;s All Kicking Off&#8217;, co-host and Premier League winner Chris Sutton said Rashford had dived to win a penalty.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Stuart Attwell awarded the penalty and it was Rob Jones in the VAR,&#8217; Sutton said. &#8216;So I understand why Stuart Attwell awarded it in real time, but Rob Jones should be strong enough then to look at it and he had all the angles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/14\/16\/75436207-12518931-image-a-3_1694704713816.jpg\" height=\"432\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Nottingham Forest will be reunited with referee Robert Jones, who was on VAR duty during the side&#8217;s controversial clash with Man United (pictured, referee Stuart Attwell)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/14\/16\/75436253-12518931-Steve_Cooper_s_team_later_lodged_a_formal_complaint-m-10_1694705036080.jpg\" height=\"522\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/14\/16\/75436685-12518931-image-m-8_1694705013679.jpg\" height=\"522\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Steve Cooper&#8217;s team later lodged a formal complaint with the PGMOL in light\u00a0 of Jones&#8217; (right) contentious decision-making<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/14\/16\/75436233-12518931-image-a-4_1694704729042.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Man United picked up a soft penalty after Danilo tangled with England star Marcus Rashford<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It&#8217;s either a penalty or it&#8217;s not a penalty.
