Incidents from Coventry City'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.
- Coventry v Brighton, Sun 13 Sept, 51:49. Sending off given. Challenge by Awoniyi (COV) on De Cuyper (BHA). On-field decision: correct (5:0); no VAR intervention, which the panel found correct (5:0). The referee was Tony Harrington.
"The on-field call of a red card for violent conduct against Awoniyi was supported. Awoniyi is not challenging for the ball and makes a striking action with his arm that makes contact with the face of his opponent."Key Match Incidents panel, Match Round 4, published by the Premier League on 23 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 Coventry City this season?
0 of the 1 VAR overturn recorded in Coventry City's 5 games up to 20 September 2026 concerned Coventry City's own goal, penalty or card. That is the direction of the overturn, not a verdict on it; the Premier League's panel has published verdicts on 1 incident from Coventry City'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.
