Incident-by-incident: Was it a bad weekend for VAR?

- Published

Whisper it quietly, but the statistics say video assistant referee (VAR) decisions have been pretty good in the Premier League so far this season.

The Key Match Incidents (KMI) Panel, which looks at every contentious decision and votes whether it is right or wrong, reported just two VAR errors after eight rounds of matches.

At the same stage last season, there had been six mistakes.

Then came this weekend, during which almost every top-flight game had a controversial decision.

BBC Sport looks at most of these situations - there really were too many to do them all - and assesses the likelihood that the KMI Panel will add to the list of errors.
