Premier League Panel Confirms Leeds Penalty Error and Wrong Second Yellow for Ramsey, Logs 18 VAR Mistakes

The audit tallies 18 VAR mistakes this season, signaling a narrow review expansion next year.

Overview

  • Leeds should have been awarded a 16th-minute penalty against Sunderland after Luke O'Nien held Pascal Struijk, a unanimously identified missed VAR intervention.
  • The panel supported Sunderland’s 70th-minute penalty for Ethan Ampadu’s handball with a 5–0 vote, judging the VAR decision correct.
  • Newcastle’s Jacob Ramsey was wrongly shown a second yellow card against Manchester United on a 3–2 panel vote, which cited a slip rather than simulation.
  • Second yellow cards cannot be checked by VAR this season, with a tightly limited review for such incidents set to be introduced next season.
  • The Key Match Incidents Panel has recorded 18 VAR errors across the Premier League campaign.
