Crystal Palace took a 1-0 lead against Manchester United after Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a retaken penalty at Selhurst Park. The spot-kick was awarded when Leny Yoro fouled Mateta in the area, but the initial conversion was disallowed due to an accidental double touch.
Referee Rob Jones announced: 'After review, Crystal Palace 14 touches the ball twice and the ball goes into the net. It's going to be a retaken penalty.' The decision followed a VAR review, with the Premier League confirming via their Match Centre X account that the original goal was overturned.
Under a rule change earlier this year, accidental double touches now result in a retake rather than an indirect free-kick. This was the first implementation of the new rule in the Premier League. The change came after Julian Alvarez's disallowed penalty for Atletico Madrid against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Mateta stepped up again and sent the ball into the opposite bottom corner, beating Senne Lammens to give Palace the lead. The incident drew mixed reactions from supporters, as noted by TNT Sports co-commentator Ally McCoist.
