Hull City’s penalty against Man Utd has really divided opinion

Homesport

More than a few people had more or less accepted that Manchester United had made the EFL Cup final, but Hull City weren't going to make it easy.

And the Tigers were given a route back into the tie following their 2-0 first leg defeat when referee Jon Moss awarded them a first-half penalty for...well, something. A shirt pull, maybe? https://twitter.com/SkyFootball/status/824715398113218560 Opinion was divided, and by that we mean people weren't sure if it was 'not a foul' or 'not even close to being a foul'. https://twitter.com/UtdRantcast/status/824713366602145792 https://twitter.com/SmnLlyd5/status/824713495421874178 https://twitter.com/j_fychan/status/824713605279051776 There were other theories. https://twitter.com/MiguelDelaney/status/824714210286436352 But people were generally at a loss. https://twitter.com/JanAageFjortoft/status/824714509336084480 Tom Huddlestone converted from the spot to leave Marco Silva's team one goal away from forcing extra-time. United started the game without first leg goalscorers Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini, while questions were asked after Anthony Martial's name was nowhere to be seen in the matchday squad. José Mourinho's enviable League Cup record, and United's run of nearly three full months without tasting defeat, are both under threat.
