Other incidents reviewed included the decision to disallow Antoine Semenyo’s goal for Bournemouth in their 3-0 defeat at Arsenal for a push by striker Dominic Solanke on goalkeeper David Raya in the build-up.
The panel was split 3-2 in support of referee David Coote’s decision, saying: “The attacker leans into the goalkeeper, briefly hooks round his arm and impacts the goalkeeper.”
The two panellists who disagreed argued “the degree of contact does not impact the goalkeeper’s ability to continue with his action and clear the ball”.
The panel voted 5-0 that VAR was correct not to intervene as it was not a “clear and obvious error”.
The panel was also split 3-2 in support of the decision to award a penalty to Arsenal for a foul by goalkeeper Mark Travers on Kai Havertz earlier in the same game.
Those in support said Travers came out “feet first, doesn’t win the ball and fouls the attacker”, with those disagreeing arguing “Havertz leaves his leg in the challenge to initiate contact and has time to jump to evade the challenge”.
They also voted 5-0 that VAR should have intervened.
