Jose Mourinho says the penalty decision was a wrong call

They insisted that the VAR should have stepped as replays showed the contact was not enough to have resulted in a penalty. Mourinho while

speaking to TalkSPORT, said:

"I say the way I see it, not the way it is. Maybe you don’t like my

opinion this time. It’s never a penalty. The best team won, England deserve to win. England was fantastic, but for me, it’s never a penalty.

"The best team won, England are a better team than Denmark.

Denmark played the way I was expecting them to play on to their limits.

"England was really, really good and no doubt they deserved to win that match/ But, for me, it’s never a penalty. At this level, a semi-final of a Euro I don’t understand really the referee’s decision.

"I don’t understand even less the fact that the VAR didn’t bring the

referee to the screen or overturn the decision. For me it’s never a penalty."

The ex-Arsenal manager agreed with Mourinho after saying he couldn't understand how VAR did not give the referee another look at the incident.

Wenger told BeIN Sports as per Metro UK .

What Arsene Wenger said about England's penalty against Denmark

"No penalty, Look in the moment like that I believe that the VAR I don’t understand why they don’t ask the referee to have a look at it. In a

moment like that, it’s important that the referee is absolutely convinced that it was a penalty.
