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.<\/b><\/p>\n
The panel has recorded three errors involving penalties, two of which should have been awarded for holding offences. <\/p>\n
Everton, the only team not to get a VAR intervention in their favour this season, were wrongly denied a spot-kick against Manchester City.<\/p>\n
David Moyes’ side led 3-2 at Goodison Park when, on a corner, Bernardo Silva held back Toffees midfielder Merlin Rohl – 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.<\/p>\n
It is the third time this season Everton should have been given a penalty through video review, the others being in a 1-0 home loss to Arsenal and a 2-1 defeat at West Ham.<\/p>\n
The panel also voted 5-0 that a penalty awarded to Bournemouth in the 29th minute of their 3-0 home win over Crystal Palace 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<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
