Matt Doherty has laughed off the claims Aston Villa should have had a penalty for a challenge by him on Ollie Watkins.
Wolves and Villa drew 1-1 at Molineux.
It was that man Hwang who scored again for Wanderers, after brilliant work from Pedro Neto to create the chance.
But Wolves let their lead slip after just one minute.
Pau Torres equalised, and the spoils were ultimately shared.
There was a somewhat dicey moment when Doherty engaged Watkins in the box, but the claims for a penalty were waved away…
Matt Doherty laughs off penalty claim in Villa clash
Football Daily released a clip yesterday of the incident in question.
And it was discussed by former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher, Stephen Warnock and Sue Smith.
Warnock and Smith suggested it should have penalty.
Gallagher refused to say whether he thought it should be, and instead offered what the referee could have been thinking in the moment.
Doherty is adamant there was nothing doing.
Reacting to the clip on X, he offered a very blunt one-word reply; ‘Never’.
His former Tottenham Hotspur teammate Eric Dier waded in saying ‘Penalty’, to which Doherty replied ‘Experience’.
You have seen them given
You have seen these kind of challenges given as penalties before.
Had Doherty used any more force, then he could well have been in trouble.
One thing is for sure – Wolves fans would likely have been screaming for it had it been the other way around.
