    Nov 11 2026

    The Premier League's own review panel has had its say on the biggest shirt pull of the season.

So who got it right, the referees or the panel? Send us your match situations for You Make the Call. Comment on this episode, DM The Third Team on Instagram, or message Samson on LinkedIn.
