Former Manchester United striker, Michael Owen has slammed VAR for ‘letting the referee down’ over Everton’s penalty claim in their Premier League 2-2 draw with the Red Devils on Saturday.

Everton were two goals up by half time, thanks to goals from Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure.

In the second half, Bruno Fernandes pulled one back for United before Manuel Ugarte found the net with 10 minutes remaining.

However, David Moyes’ side then had a strong claim for a penalty as both Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire pulled at Ashley Young’s shirt before the Everton defender tumbled inside the penalty box.

Referee Andy Madley immediately pointed to the spot.

But the VAR, Matt Donohue, instructed Madley to review his decision which was then overturned.
