The Premier League recognized three errors in penalty decisions made with the help of video assistants on Friday in three 34-day league games on Thursday, the BBC said on Friday.
According to the flagship program of the British public channel, the Premier League recognized that Southampton and Manchester United should not have received penalties against Everton and Aston Villa, while Tottenham should have received one at the start of the match against Bournemouth .
The Premier League has told BBC Match of the Day that incorrect penalty decisions were made by the VAR in all three of Thursday's games.

The penalty obtained by Southampton in the first period, for a fault by midfielder Everton Andre Gomes on James Ward-Prowse, did not really have consequences, since the player of the Saints sent the ball over the bar wanting to be justice itself.
That granted to the Red Devils, on the other hand, has caused a lot of ink to flow. On a ball dragging in front of the surface, Bruno Fernandes attempted a roulette in front of Ezri Konza who had thrown himself to counter a possible shot. Carried away by his momentum, the Portuguese had come to fall on the defender's legs and the referee had immediately awarded a penalty which was not canceled by the VAR.
No penalty for Kane, however
Fernandes had done himself justice to give the advantage to United (1-0, 27th) and tilt the match, ended with the score of 3-0. It was the 13th penalty awarded in the league to Manchester United this season - which had already won 12 last season - which is a record with Leicester in 2015/2016 and Crystal Palace in 2004/2005.
In the Tottenham match, the mistake was not to whistle penalty in favor of Harry Kane, pushed in the back by striker Joshua King, in the fight with another Spur on a corner, after 5 minutes of play. “In the world, everyone knows it's a penalty. And when I say everyone, I really mean everyone. It's not just my opinion, everyone around the world knows it's a penalty, "plagued José Mourinho, rightly so.
A disappointment may also be related to the fact that after that, his team did not frame a single shot of the match and made a draw (0-0) with a relegation who had not taken a point since the resumption of championship.
