Incidents from Michael Salisbury'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 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'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.
