- The Premier League's Key Match Incidents panel concluded that Chelsea's Cole Palmer should have been shown a straight red card ten minutes before his eventual dismissal against Tottenham.
- A 3-2 majority of the independent panel ruled that Palmer committed violent conduct with clear contact to the head of Spurs' Mateus Fernandes, though all panellists backed VAR's decision not to intervene.
- In another evaluation, the panel determined by a 3-2 majority that Aston Villa should have been awarded a penalty against Manchester City following Elliot Anderson's foul on Johan Manzambi.
- The panel highlighted a procedural error by VAR during the match between Coventry and Fulham, stating the referee should have been advised to review set-piece holding and order a retaken corner.
- Premier League statistics reveal that 88 per cent of key match incidents were correctly called on the pitch this season, rising to 99 per cent after VAR intervention.
