THE PREMIER LEAGUE'S INDEPENDENT KEY MATCH INCIDENTS PANEL CONFIRMS CORRECT GOAL DECISION, BUT MISSED RED CARDS


Referee Stuart Attwell and VAR Officials Receive Backing

The Premier League's Independent Key Match Incidents Panel has reviewed the controversial decision made by referee Stuart Attwell and the VAR officials during the match between Newcastle United and Arsenal. The panel has concluded that they were correct in awarding Newcastle United's winning goal.

Missed Red Cards

However, the panel also acknowledged that the officials missed two red card incidents during the game. This has caused frustration for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.

Goal Decision

Anthony Gordon's winning goal was allowed to stand after three separate VAR checks. The panel confirmed that VAR reviewed the ball being out of play, a foul on Gabriel by Joelinton, and offside against the goal scorer. In all three instances, the VAR, Andy Madley, could not find enough evidence to prove any offense.

Joelinton's Foul

The panel's findings state that although Joelinton had his hands on Gabriel, there was not enough evidence to award a foul. This is because Gabriel had already made a move to play the ball before any contact occurred.

Missed Red Cards

However, the panel unanimously agreed that Kai Havertz should have been sent off for Arsenal in the 36th minute for his challenge on Sean Longstaff. Additionally, Bruno Guimarães' arm to the head of Arsenals' Jorginho in the 45th minute was also a missed red card incident.

In conclusion, while the Premier League's Independent Key Match Incidents Panel supports the decision to award Newcastle United's winning goal, they have acknowledged the missed red card incidents during the game.
