Aston Villa were wrongly denied a penalty against Manchester City, according to the the Premier League's Key Match Incidents (KMI) Panel.
Johan Manzambi broke into the penalty area in the 30th minute, and went to ground under a challenge from Elliot Anderson.
Referee Peter Bankes waved away the penalty appeals, and the situation was checked and cleared by the video assistant referee (VAR), Paul Tierney.
The KMI Panel voted 3:2 that the spot-kick should have been awarded on the field, but it felt the VAR was correct not to intervene by another 3:2 split vote.
Three members of the KMI Panel felt that "Anderson makes no attempt to win the ball and makes his body bigger by moving across to block Manzambi".
However, the majority view was that "the subjectivity of the decision meant it should remain referee's call".
