Hull City 2–2 Ipswich Town becomes 2–3 Matchweek 9

17:31: Penalty not awarded. Challenge by Mendy (HUL) on O'Shea (IPS)

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

This was a split decision, 4:1, with the majority feeling that there was a clear sustained holding offence by Mendy and a penalty should have been awarded. One panellist considered that the actions of O'Shea and Florentino should have been taken into account, meaning no penalty.

On-field decision
Incorrect - foul by Mendy (1:4)

Incorrect - clear and obvious error (1:4)

Liverpool 0–1 Arsenal becomes 1–1 Matchweek 9

19:57: Penalty not awarded. Challenge by Timber (ARS) on Isak (LIV)

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

The panel felt that a penalty should have been awarded for a holding action by Timber on Isak, 4:1. One panellist considered the short-lived holding to lack clear impact on the ability of Isak to progress. The majority also felt that VAR should have intervened to recommend an on-field review, 3:2, on the basis that it was a clear and obvious error. Two panellists considered that the subjectivity in assessing impact meant this did not meet the high threshold for VAR intervention.
