Only One EPL Club Has Not Been Awarded A Penalty This Season; Their Player Has Complained

The EPL season is steadily taking shape. Premier League clubs are fighting tooth and nail to ensure their season objectives are well achieved. Manchester City sit comfortably at the top of the table, 5 points above Manchester United. Leicester City and Liverpool complete the top 4 with 45 points and 40 points respectively. The title race could go up to the last day.


The season has been full of the penalty debates. The VAR has come under criticism for giving some penalties unfairly. Recently, Manchester United were awarded a controversial penalty against Southampton.

Martial was adjudged to have dived but the ref gave the penalty kick. Yesterday, Salah was given a penalty after a slight tagging by Ruben Dias. It was a controversial one that caught the eyes of the football world.

This season alone, 19 EPL clubs have been awarded penalties and scored.

Only one club has not been given any, West Ham United. One of their top players, Declan Rice had a message to pass after yesterday’s incident. Taking to social media, he posted this message.

True to statistics, they have been awarded none while Leicester City have 8 already. Are the referees unfair to West Ham or are they not attacking well?
