Ex-Referee Dermot Gallagher Explains Why Paul Onuachu Missed Out on a Penalty in Southampton’s Loss to Leicester

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has weighed in on the controversial moment in Southampton’s 3-2 defeat to Leicester City, stating that a penalty could have been awarded to Paul Onuachu if he had gone down when his shirt was pulled in the box. Gallagher believes the Nigerian striker’s decision to stay on his feet played a key role in the referee’s choice not to award the penalty. Despite Onuachu’s late introduction to the game and his impact on Southampton’s attack, he continues to struggle for regular game time.
