VAR in the [Premier League](https://technosports.co.in/2022/12/16/datro-fofana-to-sign-chelsea-molde/) has been the subject of controversy, based on the decisions that it has made. While wrong offsides may have been reduced to a bare minimum, the handball and penalty decisions have been very debatable to say the least. 

And now, the refereeing panel has revealed at least six wrong decisions made this season. 

## The six wrong refereeing decisions that have been made in the Premier League this season 

### 1. Chelsea 2-1 West Ham 

Jarrod Bowen was deemed to have fouled Edouard Mendy in the build-up to Max Cornet’s goal. But, the board have said that the decision was simply wrong. 

### 2. Newcastle United 0-0 Crystal Palace

Palace were awarded a penalty after a Lucas Digne handball early in the season. But, the panel states that the penalty should not have been awarded. 

### 3. Crystal Palace 3-1 Aston Villa 

An own goal from Crystal Palace’s Tyrick Mitchell was ruled out on the same day as Cornet’s goal was ruled out at Chelsea. A foul by Newcastle’s Joel Willock on goalkeeper Vicente Guaita caused the goal to be ruled out. However, that own goal should’ve stood. 

### 4. Manchester United 3-1 Arsenal 

A foul by Martin Odegaard on Christian Eriksen in the build-up caused Gabriel Martinelli’s opening goal to be ruled out. The board decided that this was the wrong call to have been made. 

### 5. Fulham 3-0 Aston Villa

Headbutts in the Premier League have become a little more common nowadays. And in Steven Gerrard’s final match in charge of Aston Villa, Douglas Luiz was sent off for a headbutt on Aleksandar Mitrovic. And now, the decision has been reviewed to have been wrong. 

### 6. Nottingham Forest 2-2 Brentford 

Dean Henderson’s [challenge on Yoane Wissa](https://twitter.com/premierleague/status/1588921279834476545?s=20&t=K4XlF-MrSd-1Adscsz8veQ) was not a foul, but a penalty was awarded to Brentford and was converted by Bryan Mbuemo. The Premier League review board have decided that this wasn’t a penalty either.
