Incidents from Bournemouth's games reviewed by the KMI panel
Votes are written as the Premier League prints them: the first figure is the number of panellists who agreed with the printed verdict.
- City v Bournemouth, Sun 23 Aug, 90:00+00:30. Goal not awarded. Gvardiol (MCI) in an offside position. On-field decision: incorrect, Gvardiol onside (0:5); VAR overturned the on-field decision, which the panel found correct, clear and obvious error (5:0). The referee was Jarred Gillett.
"The panel supported the VAR intervention to award the goal with Gvardiol judged to be factually onside."Key Match Incidents panel, Match Round 1, published by the Premier League on 2 September 2026. Article, full table (PDF).
What is counted here. The data feed records that VAR intervened and what the outcome was: a goal ruled out, a goal awarded, a penalty overturned, a card upgraded. It does not record whether a decision was right, and neither does this page. "In favour" and "against" describe whose goal, penalty or card the overturn concerned. The only bodies that rule on correctness are the Premier League's Key Match Incidents panel and Pro Ref, the referees' body formerly known as PGMOL; where the panel has published a verdict it is quoted with its date on the KMI panel page.
Common questions
How many VAR decisions have gone against Bournemouth this season?
1 of the 1 VAR overturn recorded in Bournemouth's 5 games up to 20 September 2026 concerned Bournemouth's own goal, penalty or card (goal awarded v City). That is the direction of the overturn, not a verdict on it; the Premier League's panel has published verdicts on 1 incident from Bournemouth's games, quoted on this page.
Who decides whether a VAR decision was wrong?
The Premier League's Key Match Incidents panel, which votes on each chosen incident and publishes its verdicts about ten days after the round, and Pro Ref (formerly PGMOL) through its own statements. This site quotes both with dates and never adds a verdict of its own. See the KMI panel page.
