Kavanagh was stood down by PGMOL after missing Tammy Abraham's offside goal, waving off a potential red card for Lucas Digne, and oddly awarding a free-kick outside the box for a handball inside it during Newcastle's 3-1 victory on February 14. Newcastle's Eddie Howe called them honest mistakes in a fast game, while Villa's Unai Emery and pundit Alan Shearer were far harsher. He returns for Manchester United's key top-four clash with relegation-threatened Crystal Palace on Sunday, assisted by Dan Cook and Ian Hussin, with Tony Harrington on VAR—prompting grumbles from United fans recalling his past red card to Bruno Fernandes.

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring early with a header from Martinelli's lay-off, and Piero Hincapie made it 2-0 soon after halftime, but Hugo Bueno pulled one back and debutant Tom Edozie leveled in the 90+4th minute via Riccardo Calafiori's own goal. Martinelli assisted the opener and had chances, yet drew ire for heavy touches, poor passes, and no further impact, with fans calling his play stagnant and lacking killer instinct. The draw cuts Arsenal's lead over Manchester City to five points ahead of the North London derby, as Declan Rice showed his fury by ripping off his shirt at full time.
