Wolverhampton lost 0-3 in the 20th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season against Nottingham Forest at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England, on the 7th (Korea time). Hwang Hee-chan of Wolverhampton started and tried to score three consecutive goals, but he remained silent. He recorded his 100th appearance in the EPL.
Among all Korean Premier Leaguers, the number of players who have exceeded 'EPL 100 games' has increased to five (Park Ji-sung, Lee Chung-yong, Ki Sung-yong, Son Heung-min, and Hwang Hee-chan). Coach Vitor Ferira, who appeared as Wolverhampton's firefighter, suffered his first loss after two wins and one draw.
Wolverhampton, with 16 points, remained in 17th place, the remaining Maginot line, but continued their shaky run ahead of relegation-bound Ipswich Town in 18th place on goal difference. On the other hand, Nottingham continued its third place (40 points) with six consecutive wins in the EPL.
However, Manchester United fans participated in the game. Manchester United drew 2-2 against Liverpool the previous day. In the process of Liverpool's second goal, a complaint broke out. Liverpool got a penalty for Matthijs de Ligt's handball foul, and Mohamed Salah scored the net.
A similar situation unfolded in just 24 hours. In the 33rd minute of the first half, Nottingham's Ola Aina's cross hit Wolverhampton Rayan Ait-Nuri's arm in the penalty box and was blocked.
It appeared to be intentionally outstretched. However, the referee's whistle was still, and VAR (video reading) referees did not intervene. The Premier League match centre said "The referee's decision was confirmed by VAR, and his arm was in a natural position.", he explained.
However, the match between Manchester United and Liverpool was 180 degrees different. The VAR referee caught the referee and reversed the decision. The Premier League Match Centre recommended an in-field review of the possibility of handball by Diricht. It was determined that his arm had risen to an unnatural position.'
England's 'The Sun' reported that Manchester United fans demanded an explanation from refereeing body PGMOL after Nottingham failed to win a penalty against Wolverhampton. How can fans explain why yesterday's handball by The Ligt is a penalty kick but not a penalty kick by Ait-Nuri. The Licht was much closer to the ball', 'It's one of the worst decisions I've ever seen this season', 'How did VAR rule out a handball by Ait-Nuri', 'Where's the consistency. None of us understand the handball rules anymore' He's throwing up his back.
Ait-Nuri's penalty was not allowed, but it was not a variable of the game. Nottingham defeated Wolverhampton in the seventh minute with consecutive goals from Morgan Gibbs White, Chris Wood in the 44th minute and Tywo Awoniyi in the second half.
