The Premier League's Key Match Incidents (KMI) Panel has ruled that both the referee and video assistant referee (VAR) were correct not to award a penalty to Manchester United's Amad Diallo in their draw at Bournemouth last month. Amad went down inside the area after Bournemouth defender Adrien Truffert appeared to place two hands on him. The KMI Panel produced a split 3:2 vote against a spot-kick being awarded on the field. It was noted that "whilst Truffert runs a risk, the contact made was not impactful and therefore below the high threshold for a foul". However, the KMI Panel unanimously supported the non-VAR intervention, stating that it was "in keeping with the high threshold for VAR overturns".
