Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhães should have been shown a straight red card during the 2-1 defeat to Manchester City, according to the Premier League's Key Match Incidents (KMI) panel, as reported by English media outlets.
The incident in question occurred in the 82nd minute of the match when the Brazilian international clashed with opposing striker Erling Haaland, even pushing him with his head. Referee Anthony Taylor issued a yellow card to both players, and VAR official John Brooks opted not to intervene. However, during the KMI panel's review, a 3-2 majority concluded that Gabriel should have been sent off. Conversely, most panelists agreed that VAR was correct in not advising the referee to review the incident on the pitchside monitor.
It's important to note that the KMI panel's decisions are purely advisory and do not result in retrospective disciplinary action in such cases.
