Ipswich Town should have been awarded a penalty in their 2-2 draw with Hull City on October 31, an independent panel has ruled.The Key Match Incidents (KMI) panel assesses refereeing incidents across every Premier League match and felt defender Nobel Mendy committed a holding offence against Dara O'Shea during a corner in the 18th minute, with the score still goalless.The panel voted 4:1 that referee Tom Kirk should
have awarded a penalty, while VAR Neil Davies should also have recommended an on-field review.The majority agreed there was "a clear sustained holding offence", although one panellist felt the actions of O'Shea and team-mate Florentino Luis during the incident should have been considered, meaning a penalty was not warranted.Ipswich went on to take the lead four minutes later through Luis.
