Howard Webb - the head of Premier League refereeing - has said Andre Onana should have been booked for recklessness after conceding a penalty in Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Burnley at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The United shot-stopper was guilty of conceding a spot-kick in the closing stages after clattering into Burnley forward Zeki Amdouni. Onana attempted to come and claim a loose ball in the air, misjudged it, and ended up smashing into Amdouni's head.
On-field referee John Brooks did not point to the penalty spot, instead signalling for a Clarets corner. However, VAR official Peter Bankes told Brooks to delay the restart, recommending him to go over to the pitchside monitor and review the decision.

After reviewing the decision, Brooks decided to point to the spot, handing Burnley an opportunity to cancel out Antony's opener and claw themselves level. Amdouni stepped up, sent Onana the wrong way and sealed a vital point for the visitors in their quest to beat the drop.
The incident was almost identical to the one where Onana clattered Wolves striker Sasa Kalajdzic on the opening weekend of the season back in August. The United shot-stopper won none of the ball, but somehow escaped conceding a penalty.
Comparing the weekend's incident with that one, Webb said: "Like we talked about earlier, when we make an error, we look at why and what we can do better. We share all of that learning with our group, having discussed it with them.
"And we acknowledge that, that situation in week number one at Old Trafford should have led to a VAR
