Incidents from Crystal Palace'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.
- Fulham v Palace, Sat 5 Sept, 13:25. Goal awarded. Kamada (CRY) in an onside position. On-field decision: incorrect, Kamada offside (0:5); VAR overturned the on-field decision, which the panel found correct (5:0). The referee was Sam Barrott.
"The VAR intervention to disallow the goal for an offside offence against Kamada was supported."Key Match Incidents panel, Match Round 3, published by the Premier League on 16 September 2026. Article, full table (PDF).
- Palace v Ipswich, Sat 12 Sept, 73:08. Sending off given. Challenge by Disasi (CRY) on Clarke (IPS). On-field decision: correct (5:0); no VAR intervention, which the panel found correct (5:0). The referee was Chris Kavanagh.
"The referee's call of a red card for serious foul play was supported. The speed at which Disasi enters the challenge and the high point of contact with studs were the main factors in supporting this decision."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.

How many VAR decisions have gone against Crystal Palace this season?
2 of the 2 VAR overturns recorded in Crystal Palace's 5 games up to 20 September 2026 concerned Crystal Palace's own goal, penalty or card (goal ruled out v Fulham, goal ruled out v Leeds). That is the direction of the overturn, not a verdict on it; the Premier League's panel has published verdicts on 2 incidents from Crystal Palace'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.
