Matchweek 2's corrections

Liverpool 2–2 Nottingham Forest becomes 2–1 Matchweek 2

67:43: Penalty awarded. Challenge by Alisson (LIV) on Williams (NFO)

Nottingham Forest were wrongly given a penalty and scored it: −1 goal for Nottingham Forest. The penalty was scored (70').

The panel felt that the referee's call of a penalty was incorrect on-field, 3:2. The contact from Allison was inevitable as a consequence of his momentum in attempting to save the ball - the contact made was not reckless and below the threshold for a penalty. However, the non- intervention by the VAR was unanimously supported on the basis that it was not a clear and obvious error.

On-field decision
Incorrect - no foul by Alisson (2:3)
VAR
Correct - not a clear and obvious error (5:0)

Leeds United 1–1 Brentford becomes 1–2 Matchweek 2

65:37: Penalty not awarded. Challenge by Bogle (LDS) on Schade (BRE)

Brentford should have had a penalty. We count it as scored: +1 goal for Brentford.

The panel felt that a penalty should have been awarded for a foul by Bogle on Schade, 4:1. There was foot on foot contact instigated by Bogle with enough contact for a penalty kick. However, given the high threshold for VAR intervention, the panel felt the referee's call should remain on- field as it wasn't a clear and obvious error, 3:2.

On-field decision
Incorrect - foul by Bogle (1:4)
VAR
Correct - not a clear and obvious error (3:2)

Aston Villa 0–1 Arsenal becomes 0–2 Matchweek 2

90:00+07:27: Penalty not awarded. Challenge by Maatsen (AVL) on Guimaraes (ARS)

Arsenal should have had a penalty. We count it as scored: +1 goal for Arsenal.

The panel felt that a penalty should have been awarded on-field for Maatsen's reckless challenge on Guimaraes. Clear contact was made on the attacker's standing leg and Maatsen made no contact with the ball. They also felt that VAR should have intervened as the non-penalty award was a clear and obvious error.

On-field decision
Incorrect - foul by Maatsen (0:5)
VAR
Incorrect - clear and obvious error (0:5)

90:00+07:28: Second caution dismissal not given. Challenge by Maatsen (AVL) on Guimaraes (ARS)

No change to the score. The error went against Arsenal.

The panel felt that the challenge was reckless and therefore a second caution should have been awarded.
