West Ham denied penalty for Lewis-Potter's hold on Souček (BRE 3–0 WHU, —)
Keane Lewis-Potter held Tomáš Souček in what the KMI panel called "a clear non-footballing action which impacted the West Ham player's movement". The panel said VAR Tony Harrington should have intervened. It also split 3-2 that West Ham should have had a second penalty for Yarmolyuk's challenge on Pablo, but that one was not a VAR error.
