The feed records that VAR intervened and what changed; it does not say whether a decision was right. Only the Premier League's Key Match Incidents panel and Pro Ref publish verdicts on that.

The Premier League's Key Match Incidents panel published a verdict on this game (2 September 2026):

  • Penalty not awarded. Handball appeal against Robinson (FUL) (18:52). On-field decision: correct (4:1); no VAR intervention, which the panel found correct (4:1).

Votes are written as the Premier League prints them. The first figure is the number of panellists who judged the decision correct and the second is the number who judged it incorrect. The full wording, with the panel's commentary →

Every VAR overturn this season: Fulham and Chelsea. All the Matchweek 1 officials, and who is refereeing the next round.
