'It's the stupidest act I have seen on a football field': Michael Owen SLAMS Fulham's Andreas Pereira for giving away an 'insane' penalty in their 3-1 loss to West Ham

Michael Owen did not hold back in his criticism of Andreas Pereira after the Fulham midfielder gave away a 'stupid' penalty against West Ham.

Despite being warned twice by referee Chris Kavanagh for grappling Craig Dawson as West Ham took corners, Pereira again impeded the defender and gifted the Hammers a penalty.

Jarrod Bowen scored from the spot to make it 1-1, and West Ham went on to win 3-1.
