Premier League referees crew “suspended” after Manchester United's victory over Wolves

The English Premier League decided on Tuesday that three Premier League match officials, including referee Simon Hooper, have not been allocated fixtures for match day two next weekend after being at the center of a hugely controversial penalty incident in Manchester United’s win over Wolves at Old Trafford on Monday. Referee Simon Hooper, video assistant ref Michael Sailsbury and assistant VAR Richard West have all been omitted from this weekend's Premier League fixtures after dropping a clanger during Manchester United's win over Wolves. United won 1-0 through Raphael Varane's second-half goal, but they should have conceded a late penalty after Andre Onana smashed into Sasa Kalajdzic and Craig Dawson in the final minute of injury time. Replays clearly showed that Onana - making his Premier League debut - missed the ball entirely, instead making contact with the two Wolves players. Hooper waved away the on-field protests, before a lengthy VAR check by officials at Stockley Park. However, rather than request Hooper re-watch the incident on the pitchside monitor, his initial decision was upheld, much to the dismay of Wolves boss Gary O'Neil. Speaking in the immediate aftermath of the defeat, O'Neil revealed that Jon Moss, manager of the Premier League's elite group of officials, had admitted that the visitors should have been awarded a spot-kick.
