Officials correct not to give Amad penalty - panel
"The KMI Panel produced a split 3:2 vote against a spot-kick being awarded on the field. It was noted that 'whilst Truffert runs a risk, the contact made was not impactful and therefore below the high threshold for a foul'."
"Two panellists said the action was 'non-footballing and a penalty should have been awarded'. However, the KMI Panel unanimously supported the non-VAR intervention, stating that it was 'in keeping with the high threshold for VAR overturns'."
"Manager Michael Carrick described the decisions as 'baffling', confused that Attwell's decision did not match an earlier spot-kick given to his side for a pull by Alex Jimenez on Matheus Cunha."
"'So the Cunha one, he gives, the second one on Amad he doesn't, which is, I think, almost identical, really, two hands on someone in the box, and they go over and they're in control of the ball'."
The Premier League's KMI Panel determined that both the referee and VAR correctly denied a penalty to Manchester United's Amad Diallo during a match against Bournemouth. Amad fell in the box after contact from defender Adrien Truffert, but the VAR found no clear error. The panel voted 3-2 against awarding a penalty, stating the contact was not impactful enough. United expressed frustration over perceived inconsistencies in penalty decisions during the match, particularly comparing it to another awarded penalty for a similar incident.
