Premier League KMI panel gives verdict on 2 Brighton-Arsenal decisions

The Premier League's Key Match Incidents panel reviewed two crucial refereeing decisions from Arsenal's defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion, unanimously ruling that both calls were correct. The panel supported the referee's choice not to award Brighton a penalty in the 53rd minute for a challenge by Riccardo Calafiori on Ferdi Kadioglu, noting the contact fell below the required threshold.

Additionally, the panel agreed that Pascal Struijk was not interfering with play from an offside position when Chema Andres scored Brighton's third goal. Meanwhile, Declan Rice's controversial trip on Malick Yalcouye was not reviewed by the panel, though former referee Dermot Gallagher confirmed that Rice's yellow card was the proper decision.
