Incident-by-incident: Was it a bad weekend for VAR?

BBC Sport reviews controversial VAR decisions from the Premier League weekend, assessing which might be ruled errors by the KMI Panel.

Almost every Premier League game this weekend featured a controversial VAR decision, prompting BBC Sport to examine the most significant incidents and predict how the Key Match Incidents Panel will judge them.

The KMI Panel votes on every contentious decision to determine if it was correct or an error. After eight rounds this season, only two VAR mistakes had been recorded — significantly better than the six errors at the same stage last season. This weekend's volume of disputed calls marks a sharp reversal.

Among the incidents reviewed: Manchester United's penalty for a foul by Aston Villa's Boubacar Kamara on Matheus Cunha (likely correct); Patrick Dorgu's 96th-minute equaliser for Luton after contact on goalkeeper Zion Suzuki (unlikely to be ruled an error due to minimal contact); Kai Havertz being denied a penalty for an offside offence when the foul occurred first (likely an error); Omar Bogle's challenge on Mathys Tel that went unpunished (split opinion among ex-professionals); Coventry's penalty claims against Everton for hair-pulling on Caleb Yirenkyi and contact on Taiwo Awoniyi (one likely correct, one likely incorrect); and Thierno Barry's goal that may have involved handball but lacked conclusive evidence for VAR intervention.
