Matchweek 4's corrections

Sunderland 0–2 Arsenal score unchanged Matchweek 4

53:28: Penalty awarded. Challenge by Konsa (ARS) on Ballard (SUN)

No change to the score. The error went against Arsenal. The penalty was not scored, so no goal is removed.

The panel unanimously felt that the referee's call of a penalty for a holding offence was incorrect. Although it was a very untidy challenge in which Konsa initially had arms around Ballard, Ballard engages in a holding action which pulls Konsa onto him so they both fall to the floor. The non-VAR intervention was supported, 3:2, with the majority considering that the on-field decision was not a clear and obvious error, given the combined actions from both players.

Manchester United 0–1 Manchester City becomes 0–0 Matchweek 4

59.25: KMI Goal not awarded. Haaland (MCI) in an onside position, Fernandez (MCI) in an offside position

Manchester City were wrongly allowed a goal: −1 goal for Manchester City.

The panel unanimously felt that the VAR intervention to award the goal was incorrect. Fernandez is in an offside position, attempts to play the ball that is close to him, and impacts the ability of the defender and the goalkeeper to play the ball in the process. A VAR review should have been recommended for a missed subjective offside in the attacking possession phase.

On-field decision
Incorrect - Fernandez impacting opponent (0:5)
VAR
Incorrect - clear and obvious error (0:5)
