Michael Owen stated on PremierLeague.com that Manchester United's penalty in the first half against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford in the Premier League game on Saturday was correct.

Manchester United hosted Crystal Palace in the Premier League today.
After only seven minutes, Portuguese attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes gave Erik ten Hag’s side the lead from the penalty spot.
On 62 minutes, English forward Marcus Rashford put the Red Devils up 2-0.
Casemiro, a Brazilian defensive midfielder, was sent off in the 70th minute.
On 76 minutes, the Eagles’ Jeffrey Schlupp found the back of the net.
United eventually won the game 2-1.

Fernandes made no mistakes right away.
Ultimately was a contentious decision, but it favored the home team.
