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.

Meanwhile Tottenham allegedly deserved a penalty for Joshua King’s shove on Harry Kane in a 0-0 draw with Bournemouth.

Lastly, James Ward-Prowse earned Southampton their 1-1 draw with Everton in a disputed penalty kick, which hit the bar.

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