The Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel confirmed that the VAR's intervention to cancel a last-minute penalty awarded to Everton against Manchester United was justified. Initially, referee Andy Madley called a foul by Harry Maguire after Ashley Young's appeal, but upon reviewing the incident, concluded that the contact did not warrant a penalty. The panel noted that Young's fall was exaggerated compared to the contact received. The assessment aimed to provide an objective evaluation of key match incidents independent of club biases.
The Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel unanimously ruled that the VAR intervention correctly cancelled Everton's injury-time penalty against Manchester United, highlighting referee Andy Madley's error.
The panel assessed that while Harry Maguire's foul decision was wrong, there should have been clarity on Matthijs de Ligt's actions which weren't presented to the referee.
