Yes, but in terms of the definition, probably not.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Great header
Unlucky deflection?!
Deffo OG.
What a header. Gutted I didn’t go to this tbh.
Stupid deflection more like
Wales score against the run of play. Haven't really had a foothold in the game until James bought a couple of free kicks.
Testing ball in from Bale and drew the mistake from Yarmolenko.

How is Dan James starting? Surely there’s no one better than him at that position? He’s so bad.
Blatant penalty 
Penalty there, no VAR today/
VAR check for Ukraine penalty.
Allen is very lucky.
Absolute joke of a decision.
What's the point of VAR when refs are too scared to overturn things?

That is not a pen
That was a penalty
That's stonewall
Was definitely a penalty.
Surely Dan James can go one step either way rather than running right into his defender
I still don't get VAR.
How in the world does var not award a penalty there?
James is one of those players who when he makes a good play and hears the fans roar approval gets tunnel vision and forgets to look for a pass, instead opting to continue dribbling and inevitably losing the ball.
Was saying the same thing for the vast majority of his two years with us.
As always, nobody doesn't understand VAR or even rules. It is 100% penalty.
Putin's on VAR it seems.
Another one for the loooooong list of dreadful VAR decisions. That was a penalty all day long.
He really is shite.
Well which is it?
I really need to know how you think that's not a pen?
That is blatant penalty.
Hope James gets a red. Cheating little gonad.
Yarmolenko seemed to be already keeling over before the contact was made. I don't think that was a VARable situation.
Dan James is just tragic, has anyone ever told him you’re supposed to go AROUND defenders and not straight through them? We also got lucky as that was a stonewall penalty too.
He had a really good euros and is better for wales than united/leeds
I’ll have a look at this penalty shout at half time and let you know if it was or not
He could be practicing his break-dancing moves for all it matters. You’re not allowed to kick opposition players. If you do it’s a freekick. In the box, it’s a penalty. That was an utterly straightforward call.
Is on a booking aswell so he'll be hooked for Brennan Johnson on hour mark.
As far as I'm aware not every contact is automatically a foul and referees ask themselves "is the contact cause for the player's fall", in this situation that didn't necessarily seem to be the case, so it's probably at the ref's discretion whether he wants to rule it a pen or not.
He’s English isn’t he? Classic Wales poaching an Englishman
Probably been answered but why aren’t wales playing at the millennium stadium?
Not every contact is a foul. Kicking an opposition player who has just won the ball of you is always a foul.
And the ones deemed not good enough for Wales go off and play for east European/Med teams.
