Dermot Gallagher analyzes the incidents involving Alejandro Garnacho and Destiny Udogie in the match between Manchester United and Tottenham.

 Dermot Gallagher analyzes the incidents involving Alejandro Garnacho and Destiny Udogie in the match between Manchester United and Tottenham. According to Gallagher, neither incident warranted a penalty. In the first incident, Gallagher believes there was not enough contact to justify a penalty, questioning why Udogie would take such a risk. In the second incident, Gallagher again dismisses the penalty claim, highlighting the minimal contact and even mentioning that Richarlison, Udogie's teammate, also didn't think it was a penalty. 

Moving on to another match, Burnley's claim of a foul on goalkeeper James Trafford during Luton's late equalizer was not reviewed by VAR. Gallagher acknowledges that opinions are divided on whether it was a foul or not. He believes it was a foul, but since there are differing opinions, he doesn't think it was a case for VAR. He mentions that even Shay Given, a former goalkeeper, doesn't think it was a foul. Gallagher concludes by stating that while some may agree with him, there are others who would disagree, emphasizing that there are no specific laws dictating where a player should stand or whether they should avoid contact with the goalkeeper. He maintains his belief that it was a foul, but acknowledges that it would only be given if the referee deemed it so on the field.
