With Manchester United 1-0 up against Bournemouth early in the second half, Luke Shaw appeared to foul Cherries striker Callum Wilson in the penalty area but appeals were swiftly waved away by referee Graham Scott.

But former Premier League referee Graham Poll believes the Red Devils were fortunate to get away with the foul and felt Scott did not give it as his view was obstructed.

Wilson was left incensed as he fell to the ground with an onrushing Shaw looking to nip in front of the striker.
