Incidents from Leeds United'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.
- Leeds v Brentford, Sun 30 Aug, 65:37. Penalty not awarded. Challenge by Bogle (LDS) on Schade (BRE). On-field decision: incorrect, foul by Bogle (1:4); no VAR intervention, which the panel found correct, not a clear and obvious error (3:2). The referee was Tony Harrington.
"The panel felt that a penalty should have been awarded for a foul by Bogle on Schade, 4:1. There was foot on foot contact instigated by Bogle with enough contact for a penalty kick. However, given the high threshold for VAR intervention, the panel felt the referee's call should remain on-field as it wasn't a clear and obvious error, 3:2."Key Match Incidents panel, Match Round 2, published by the Premier League on 9 September 2026. Article, full table (PDF).
- Leeds v Newcastle, Mon 14 Sept, 63:58. Penalty not awarded. Challenge by Muharemovic (LDS) on Barnes (NEW). On-field decision: correct (4:1); no VAR intervention, which the panel found correct (4:1). The referee was Michael Salisbury.
"The referee's call of no penalty for a potential foul by Muharemovic on Barnes was supported, 4:1, with the contact not meeting the threshold for a foul."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 Leeds United this season?
0 of the 1 VAR overturn recorded in Leeds United's 5 games up to 20 September 2026 concerned Leeds United'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 2 incidents from Leeds United'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.
