Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola quickly shut down Manchester United’s appeals for a second penalty in the two teams' controversial 2-2 draw.

The Red Devils were held to a draw by Iraola’s side on the South Coast on Friday evening.

Captain Bruno Fernandes had given United the lead from the penalty spot for a foul on Matheus Cunha. The visitors thought they were deserving of a second penalty, having seen Amad taken down in the area.

But referee Stuart Attwell was unmoved, while VAR also decided not to intervene. United’s fury grew as Bournemouth equalised just seconds later through Ryan Christie.

Asked for his take on the incident, Bournemouth head coach Iraola believed the original decision was correct.

Speaking to BBC's Match of the Day, he said: "Now we have the advantage we can see replays quickly and I didn't think there was anything in that one [Amad]. I think the Evanilson one and the Matheus Cunha one are both penalties because defenders lose the position and then the Amad one is never a penalty.

"We asked for one in the first half - Harry Maguire with two hands behind his back but I don't think that was enough for a penalty either. I don't think there is much to discuss."

One man who would certainly disagree with his take is United boss Michael Carrick, who hit out after the full-time whistle. He said: “For him [Stuart Atwell] to give one penalty and not the other… I find it crazy. I cannot understand it. Mental. It’s astonishing. One of them must be wrong.

“A big opportunity to go 2-0 up and we get one penalty and not the other. It's exactly the same thing really - a two-handed grab. He's [referee] got one wrong so, I don't know which one but he doesn't give us the second one.

“I think they're both penalties and it's a massive moment in the game and it ended up chaos after that. Massive moment and I don't understand how you can give one and not the other - it's crazy.

"It's as obvious as you can get - you've already given one so to not give the other one. It's clear, if that's what he believes is a penalty to start with then the second one has to be. I don't understand how you can't give that.

“And then the goal and after that it was chaos. I was really pleased when we went to 10 men we saw the game out and took a point that's a real positive.

“In the end the way it went you can lose those games so to take a point int he end we'll take that but disappointed not to take all three.”
