Matchweek 8's corrections

Aston Villa 2–1 Manchester City becomes 3–1 Matchweek 8

29:23: Penalty not awarded. Challenge by Anderson (MCI) on Manzambi (AVL)

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

The on-field no penalty call was deemed incorrect, 3:2. Anderson makes no attempt to win the ball and makes his body bigger by moving across to block Manzambi. The panel supported the VAR's decision to not intervene, 3:2, as they felt the subjectivity of the decision meant it should remain referee's call. Two panellists would have supported an intervention for a clear and obvious error.

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

Chelsea 0–2 Tottenham Hotspur becomes 0–3 Matchweek 8

69:37: Sending off dismissal not given. Actions of Palmer (CHE) on Fernandes (TOT)

No change to the score. The error went against Tottenham Hotspur.

The on-field no red card decision was deemed incorrect, 3:2. The majority felt that Palmer's action on Fernandes was clear contact to the head as well as unnecessary, dangerous and made with excessive force. Two panellists supported the on-field call as they viewed the action as aggressive with no excessive force. All panellists supported the VAR's decision to not intervene and support the referee's call given that a yellow card was awarded on-field.

On-field decision
Incorrect - violent conduct by Palmer (2:3)
VAR
Correct - not a clear and obvious error (5:0)

84:26: Penalty not awarded. Challenge by Caicedo (CHE) on Solanke (TOT)

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

The on-field no penalty call was deemed incorrect, 3:2. The majority felt Caicedo was persistently holding Solanke whilst facing away from the ball and impacting the ability of the opponent to progress. Two panellists supported the on-field call as they felt both players are engaging and Caicedo is twisting to look at the ball. The VAR decision to not intervene was supported, 3:2.
