Footage Shows Armando Broja Persistently Shoving Scott McTominay before he Concedes the penalty
  • 2 years ago
Manchester United defender Raphael Varane left the field in tears on Saturday as his chances of playing in the World Cup were threatened by an apparent knee injury. The France international was substituted after 60 minutes of United's 1-1 draw at Chelsea in the Premier League.

McTominay showed a rush of blood as he bizarrely hauled Broja down from a corner late on, which resulted in Jorginho netting from the spot in the 87th minute to hand Graham Potter's side the lead.

Casemiro's 94th minute equalizer spared McTominay's blushed and rescued a point for the Red Devils, who stayed to within a point behind of the Blues in the table.


Despite his poor concession of the penalty, McTominay was clearly unsettled by Broja's frequent pushing and shoving in the box.

After the match, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink admitted that midfielder gave the referee little option but to hand Chelsea the penalty.

'I think he doesn't give himself a great option,' the ex-Chelsea striker said.

'He has two hands around him. What is bad if you look to the arms, and that makes it bad if he pulls him down. I don't know. Broja may make the most of it. McTominay can't put himself in that position.

'By putting himself in that position it gives the referee decision is too close to him.

'It's just constantly and obviously with the postseason delivery, chances are that looks bad. That looks bad. But you know, and he can say I didn't put enough strength in there, but it looks bad.

'We all know that he can do this. Yeah, 27 or 31 penalties that he's taken for Chelsea have been scored by Jorginho. Not a perfect record but certainly an excellent record for them and really at that stage Chelsea had been given the opportunity to go in front.'
