Everton should have got penalty for Fernandes handball - Webb

The Story So Far

West Ham United’s recent 2-1 victory over Everton has come under scrutiny following public comments from the head of Premier League officiating. Howard Webb has acknowledged that the visiting side should have been awarded a penalty during the match. The controversial incident centred on a handball by Fernandes inside the box, which the match officials failed to penalise at the time. While the admission confirms a refereeing mistake, the final scoreline remains unchanged. This statement provides clarity on a key moment from the fixture, confirming that a spot-kick should have been granted to the opposition during the closely contested encounter.
