Halsey specifically mentioned the penalty won by Manchester United, which was ultimately missed by Bruno Fernandes. According to Halsey, the foul committed by Calvin Bassey on Mason Mount should not have been considered a penalty.

Halsey also pointed out that another incident occurred at the same time, involving Luke Shaw and Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz. Halsey questioned why only the foul on Mount was penalized, while the push on Bassey by Leny Yoro was ignored.

Halsey suggested that the referee should have played on, as the two incidents canceled each other out. He also expressed understanding for Marco Silva's frustration, given the clear push on Bassey that was not disallowed.
