The Key Match Incidents panel ruled that Bruno Fernandes' red card was incorrect, stating that the contact was not sufficient to warrant a dismissal.
The panel unanimously agreed that there was enough evidence for VAR intervention, with a focus on contact not being excessive or endangering safety.
The decision behind Fernandes’ sending off was deemed misled, with the assistant referee held accountable for influencing the erroneous decision.
In contrast to the Fernandes case, the panel supported the penalty awarded to Newcastle against Manchester City, highlighting clear contact in that incident.
