In the match between Arsenal and Sunderland, a foul by Ngoyo on Dan Ballard resulted in a penalty kick. The Premier League officially released findings from the PGMOL expert panel, with all experts agreeing that the referee's penalty decision was a mistake and should not have been awarded. However, the panel voted 3-2 that VAR's decision not to intervene was the correct procedure.

The expert panel voted 3-2 in support of VAR's non-intervention. The majority of experts believe that, considering the actions of both players, the on-field decision did not constitute a clear and obvious error.

Why did the PGMOL expert panel determine the referee's decision was wrong, yet rule that VAR's choice not to intervene was correct?

The expert reviewers first assessed the referee's decision, and then evaluated VAR's handling of the incident.

It is important to note: The Premier League sets a very high threshold for VAR intervention.

In this case, the expert panel believed that although the referee made an error and should not have awarded the penalty, the decision did not meet the standard of a "clear and obvious error," and therefore VAR intervention was not warranted.
