Ex-ref Poll: Penalty call correct for Man Utd striker Welbeck

Former Premier League ref Graham Poll says Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck's penalty won against Tottenham was legitimate.

Poll wrote in the Daily Mail: "Mike Dean made a superb decision when he awarded Manchester United their equalising penalty.

"Though the incident came from a quick counter-attack, Dean was perfectly positioned to see that Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris had not touched the ball but had tripped Danny Welbeck.

"At full speed, commentators and observers were not prepared to commit as to whether Dean was right or not, but a close up replay showed what a good decision it was."
