Manchester United: Fans react as club miss two penalties in win over Norwich City
Manchester United fans were left in disbelief after their side missed two penalties in the 3-1 win over Norwich City yesterday.
Who should take penalties?
Marcus Rashford
Anthony Martial
Marcus Rashford saw the first penalty saved by Tim Krul after VAR awarded one when Ben Godfrey was adjudged to have fouled Daniel James.
The Red Devils when then awarded a second penalty after a handball by Todd Cantwell with Krul once again making the save after guessing correctly (via BBC)
It is the first time since 2016 that two penalties have been saved in the same game since Dutchman Maarten Stekelenburg against Manchester City.
Despite the missed spot-kicks, the Old Trafford giants still ran out comfortable winners in the end, sweeping aside Daniel Farke’s men 3-1 thanks to goals from Scott McTominay, Martial and Rashford.
However, fans couldn’t believe the misses from the striking duo as they took to Twitter to react with utter disbelief.
Here is a selection of tweets from the Old Trafford faithful:
