That was never a penalty

Bournemouth fans and players were left fuming after a controversial penalty decision denied them victory in a dramatic 3-3 draw against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The Cherries looked set to claim all three points before a late penalty, awarded by referee Jarred Gillett, turned the game on its head. The decision — described by many as “a joke” and “never a penalty” — came after what appeared to be a 50/50 challenge inside the box.

The call sparked fury from Bournemouth supporters, with many taking to social media to accuse PGMOL of “cheating” and demanding action against Gillett.

“That’s a joke if it gets given — it was never a penalty. Bournemouth got robbed,” one angry fan wrote.

Despite Bournemouth’s strong attacking display and a thrilling back-and-forth contest, the late controversy overshadowed what had been an entertaining Premier League clash.

The match ended 3-3, but the debate surrounding the referee’s performance is likely to continue, with calls growing for Jarred Gillett to be suspended or even sacked following yet another contentious decision.

PGMOL is yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident.
