Manchester United saw four potential penalty shouts from their 3-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion reviewed on Monday morning.

Those are in addition to the one that saw referee Peter Bankes award United a spot-kick after Carlos Baleba brought down Joshua Zirkzee, which Bruno Fernandes converted. That penalty cancelled out an early opener from Yankuba Minteh to draw the hosts level midway through the first half.

Brighton thought they had retaken the lead eight minutes after half-time when Joao Pedro fired past Andre Onana, only for Bankes to rule that goal out after reviewing the pitchside monitor. Ultimately, Kaoru Mitoma belatedly put the visitors back ahead on the hour mark before Georginio Rutter later doubled their advantage.

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher analysed the weekend's controversial decisions during Ref Watch on Sky Sports News around lunchtime and had plenty to discuss from Old Trafford. Starting with the foul on Zirkzee that led to Fernandes equalising, Gallagher said: "I don't think Brighton can have any complaints. It's an easy spot for the referee. There's panic from the defender.

Then, Gallagher was asked about a succession of three challenges on Amad, Zirkzee, and Amad again: "Fantastic tackle - three times! The first one is a really good tackle; the second gets the ball and the third gets the ball."

Gallagher also analysed an incident late in the second half involving Joao Pedro when Brighton wanted a spot-kick. "I've watched this over and over again, but I can't see any conclusive proof that it is a penalty," he said. "No [I don't see his foot getting stamped on].

"I've watched and watched and watched it; it's so difficult to see anything there that suggests a spot kick. The referee has got to be convinced it's a foul to give a penalty, and I don't see how he can be convinced."
