The Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel has determined that Everton should have been awarded a penalty during their 1-0 loss to Arsenal on December 20, 2025. The incident involved Arsenal defender William Saliba kicking Everton striker Thierno Barry's boot inside the penalty area in the 57th minute. The panel voted 3-2 that referee Sam Barrott's on-field decision was wrong and that VAR official Michael Salisbury should have prompted a review.
Viktor Gyokeres scored a first-half penalty to secure a narrow 1-0 victory for Arsenal against Everton at the Hill-Dickinson Stadium. The win propelled the Gunners back to the top of the Premier League table, two points clear of Manchester City. Mikel Arteta's side marked his sixth anniversary in charge with a hard-fought result despite not being at their fluent best.
