In Chelsea's 3-1 victory at Molineux on February 7, the Premier League's Key Match Incidents panel decided by a 3-2 vote that a 49th-minute challenge on Joao Pedro warranted a third penalty, as Sa's extended leg made clear contact. Yet they unanimously backed VAR's non-intervention, since it didn't meet the 'clear and obvious error' bar for overturning the on-field call, and no red card was needed due to lack of force. Pedro had already earned two first-half penalties converted by Cole Palmer for his hat-trick, helping Chelsea extend their streak to four under Liam Rosenior and rise to fifth with 44 points from 26 games. Fans aired confusion over the VAR threshold, fueling jokes about a near 'penalty hat-trick' and ongoing referee debates.

Key Takeaway

Joao Pedro leapt for a high ball, but Wolves keeper Jose Sa's raised boot caught his thigh— a moment the panel later deemed penalty-worthy.
