⚡️ Major Breaking News: Referee Stuart Attwell Suspended by PGMOL After Controversial Sunderland vs Manchester United Clash 😡
The Premier League’s refereeing body, PGMOL, has officially suspended referee Stuart Attwell following widespread outrage over his decisions in Manchester United’s 2–0 win against Sunderland at Old Trafford.
Attwell came under intense scrutiny after denying Sunderland what appeared to be a clear penalty in the second half — a moment that changed the entire rhythm of the match. Fans, pundits, and former referees have flooded social media demanding answers from the league.
🎙️ “It was a terrible decision — you can’t watch that back and not give a penalty,” said one Sky Sports analyst.
“Sunderland were the better side for long spells, and that call completely killed their momentum.”
Clips of the incident have gone viral, with many football supporters insisting that Sunderland were “robbed” of a fair result. The phrase “Robbed at Old Trafford” has been trending across social platforms since last night.
While PGMOL hasn’t released a detailed explanation yet, sources confirm that Attwell will not officiate any Premier League games this weekend as part of a routine review following a “high-profile error.”
Sunderland fans, still fuming, say justice is only partial:
💬 “We want accountability — not silence. That was daylight robbery,” one supporter told local media.
The controversy has reignited long-standing debates about refereeing standards, VAR consistency, and Premier League fairness.
