Incidents from Chris Kavanagh'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.
- Arsenal v Chelsea, Sun 6 Sept, 11:11. Goal awarded. Konsa (ARS) in an onside position. On-field decision: incorrect, Konsa offside (0:5); VAR overturned the on-field decision, which the panel found correct (5:0).
"The VAR intervention to disallow the goal for an offside offence against Konsa 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'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.
