KMI Panel Backs Decision Not to Award Amad Penalty

The Premier League's KMI Panel has upheld the decision not to award a penalty to Manchester United's Amad Diallo during his side's draw at Bournemouth, stating the contact was not impactful enough.

The panel voted 3-2 to support referee Stuart Attwell and VAR Craig Pawson, noting that Adrien Truffert's contact was below the high threshold for a foul.

The decision drew anger from United manager Michael Carrick and Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer, who questioned the consistency after a penalty was awarded for a similar pull by Alex Jimenez earlier in the game.
