In the Manchester United versus Aston Villa game, Bruno Fernandes won a spot-kick which he ended up scoring, bringing United to a 3-0 win over Villa.

The Premier League issued a statement admitting that United and Southampton should not have gotten these penalties, however, Tottenham deserved one.
