Incidents from Sam Barrott'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.
- Liverpool v Forest, Sat 29 Aug, 31:50. Goal awarded. Frimpong (LIV) in an onside position. On-field decision: incorrect, Frimpong offside (0:5); VAR overturned the on-field decision, which the panel found correct, factual offside (5:0).
"The VAR overturn to disallow the goal for an offside offence against Frimpong was supported. When the ball was played, by Wirtz, Frimpong was in an offside position and then plays the ball himself. Whilst the pass makes contact with a defender this is not a 'controlled action'."Key Match Incidents panel, Match Round 2, published by the Premier League on 9 September 2026. Article, full table (PDF).
- Liverpool v Forest, Sat 29 Aug, 67:43. Penalty awarded. Challenge by Alisson (LIV) on Williams (NFO). On-field decision: incorrect, no foul by Alisson (2:3); no VAR intervention, which the panel found correct, not a clear and obvious error (5:0).
"The panel felt that the referee's call of a penalty was incorrect on-field, 3:2. The contact from Alisson was inevitable as a consequence of his momentum in attempting to save the ball; the contact made was not reckless and below the threshold for a penalty. However, the non-intervention by the VAR was unanimously supported on the basis that it was not a clear and obvious error."Key Match Incidents panel, Match Round 2, published by the Premier League on 9 September 2026. Article, full table (PDF).
- Fulham v Palace, Sat 5 Sept, 13:25. Goal awarded. Kamada (CRY) in an onside position. On-field decision: incorrect, Kamada 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 Kamada was supported."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.
