Crystal Palace were awarded a penalty in the first half of their Premier League clash with Manchester United on Sunday.
Jean-Philippe Mateta scored from the spot but only after scuffing the ball with his right foot onto his left foot before it went into the net.
VAR intervened and ruled that it was an “accidental double touch” by Mateta.
Following a rule change earlier this year, VAR recommended that the penalty should be retaken.
Mateta stepped up again and scored the retake to put Crystal Palace in front.
