Analysis: Historic moment but no points

It was only at the start of this season that a new rule was introduced in the Premier League which means a retake is now given if a player scores with a penalty he has kicked twice before the ball enters the net.

When Jean-Philippe Mateta sent Senne Lammens the wrong way for what he thought was his seventh successful penalty from seven attempts nine minutes before the break, VAR Matt Donohue was quick to let referee Rob Jones know he needed to get involved.

It was the first time the rule had been used and evidently, judging by the way some United players complained, and the visiting fans cheered and then groaned as Jones announced what had happened and what the outcome would be, the rule change had passed many observers by.

Mateta didn't seem bothered. He put the ball in the other corner, as Lammens again went the wrong way.

After getting beaten by a team reduced to 10 men because a player hit a team-mate against Everton in their last outing, it would have been another novel way to lose for Amorim's team. As it turned out, it is just a note in the history books.
