CaptainsPlease

Level 5 and
Level 3W Referee
Incident 1 (2:17) - Brighton v Everton - penalty awarded for handball
Disagree, arm appears held in against the body and all movement looks natural while trying to block a shot.


Incident 2 (0:15) - Manchester United v West Ham - foul not awarded in APP
I think there is enough here for a careless foul as defender is trying to shield, attacker seems to push in back then clip her ankle. This is one where AR should come in due to long ball and distance of referee.

Agree with your analysis of both incidents.. That said, despite dramatic improvements in playing standards over the past few years, there were still plenty of far more heinous mistakes from the players than from the officials this weekend!
 
IMHO, first is a poor decision, not a PK.

Second I’m ok with, poor defending, tries to buy the free kick with minimal contact.
