Premier League Panel Confirms Two Missed VAR Penalties

Liverpool, Arsenal, Ipswich Town, Hull City and the Key Match Incidents Panel
11 November 2026

The Premier League’s Key Match Incidents Panel ruled Liverpool should have received a penalty against Arsenal after Jurrien Timber held Alexander Isak’s shirt. The panel also identified a missed penalty for Ipswich during their October draw with Hull City.

Officials originally allowed both incidents to stand after video reviews. The panel voted four to one that Liverpool deserved a penalty and three to two that VAR should have intervened. It also found Ipswich should have been awarded a spot kick.

Why It Matters

The panel's findings formally identify two officiating errors, including one during Arsenal's 1-0 victory over Liverpool. Neither match result has been changed.
