Incidents from Darren England'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.

  • Ipswich v Liverpool, Fri 4 Sept, 67:07. Penalty not awarded. Challenge by Davis (IPS) on Szoboszlai (LIV), offside decision. On-field decision: incorrect (0:5); VAR overturned the on-field decision, which the panel found correct, factual overturn (5:0).
    "There was a clear offside offence in the attacking phase which negated any potential penalty award. The on field offside decision was incorrect and the VAR intervention was correct to identify this as part of the potential penalty review. The panel would have expected a penalty to be awarded if there was no offside offence beforehand."Key Match Incidents panel, Match Round 3, published by the Premier League on 16 September 2026. Article, full table (PDF).
  • Ipswich v Liverpool, Fri 4 Sept, 44:56. Penalty not awarded. Challenge by Fatawu (IPS) on Gakpo (LIV). On-field decision: correct (4:1); no VAR intervention, which the panel found correct (5:0).
    "An unusual situation where some contact is made by Fatawu on Gakpo after the ball is laid off. The panel was split, 4:1, with the majority feeling that the contact was below the high threshold for a foul and they unanimously felt that this was not a clear and obvious error for VAR intervention."Key Match Incidents panel, Match Round 3, published by the Premier League on 16 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.
