Refereeing CallCorrectKMI panel ruling
NEWNewcastle United2 – 3LiverpoolLIV

Matchweek 2 · Monday 25 August · Referee Simon Hooper · VAR John Brooks

The card was upgraded to red after a VAR review. The decision does not appear among the errors the KMI panel logged for 2025-26, which means the panel voted it correct.

I would question why they’re prioritizing forwards when their defense is so s*** Ref missed a lot of fouls for both sides.
