Three more video assistant referee errors have been confirmed by the Premier League’s Key Match Incidents panel, taking the total this season to 23.<\/p>\n
The panel has recorded three errors involving penalties, two of which should have been awarded for holding offences. <\/p>\n
Everton<\/a>, the only team not to get a VAR intervention in their favour this season, were wrongly denied a spot-kick against Manchester City<\/a>.<\/p>\n David Moyes’ side led 3-2 at Hill Dickinson Stadium when, on a corner, Bernardo Silva held back Toffees midfielder Merlin Rohl<\/a> – unseen by referee Michael Oliver.<\/p>\n The VAR Paul Howard decided the holding had taken place before the corner was taken, so he could not intervene to award a penalty.<\/p>\n “If that doesn’t get given as a penalty, then it’s an absolute free-for-all from now on,” Moyes said after the game.<\/p>\n All five members of the KMI panel agreed with Moyes, saying “there is a clear, sustained holding offence which continues as the corner is taken and the ball comes into play”.<\/p>\n City equalised deep into stoppage time through Jeremy Doku to snatch a 3-3 draw<\/a>.<\/p>\n It is the third time this season Everton<\/a> should have been given a penalty through video review, the others being in a 1-0 home loss to Arsenal<\/a> and a 2-1 defeat at West Ham<\/a>.<\/p>\n The panel also voted 5-0 that a penalty awarded to Bournemouth<\/a> in the 29th minute of their 3-0 home win<\/a> over Crystal Palace<\/a> should have been overturned. <\/p>\n Marcos Senesi went to ground claiming contact from goalkeeper Dean Henderson, and referee Rob Jones pointed to the spot. The VAR Peter Bankes decided to uphold the decision.<\/p>\n “Henderson drops the ball, reaches for it and Senesi goes down under very minimal contact from the goalkeeper,” the panel said. <\/p>\n “The referee’s call of a penalty was incorrect and that VAR should have intervened to recommend a review.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three more video assistant referee errors have been confirmed by the Premier League’s Key Match Incidents panel, taking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":450074,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-450073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450073\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
