The Premier League's Key Match Incidents panel has confirmed three more VAR errors this season, bringing the total to 23. This represents an increase from last season's 17 at the same stage but remains below the 30 errors recorded in 2023-24. Among the confirmed errors were three penalty decisions, including two that should have been awarded for holding offenses and one that should have been overturned. Everton was particularly affected, being wrongly denied a penalty against Manchester City when Bernardo Silva held midfielder Merlin Rohl during a corner. All five panel members agreed this was a clear holding offense that continued as the ball came into play. Everton manager David Moyes expressed his frustration, stating the decision could lead to a "free-for-all" if not corrected. In another case, a penalty awarded to Bournemouth against Crystal Palace should have been overturned after the panel determined goalkeeper Dean Henderson made only minimal contact with Marcos Senesi.

Key Points:

- Premier League VAR errors have increased to 23 this season, up from 17 last season

- Everton was wrongly denied a penalty against Manchester City due to a holding offense not spotted by VAR

- A penalty awarded to Bournemouth against Crystal Palace should have been overturned according to the KMI panel
