Ipswich should have been awarded a penalty in their 2-2 draw at Hull City on 31 October, the Premier League's Key Match Incidents (KMI) Panel has ruled.
Nobel Mendy held back Dara O'Shea on a corner routine in the 18th minute when the game was goalless.

The KMI Panel voted 4-1 that referee Tom Kirk should have given the spot-kick on field, and that the video assistant referee, Neil Davies, should have intervened.
The majority felt that there was "a clear sustained holding offence", while one panellist considered that the "actions of O'Shea and Florentino Luis" within the move should have been taken into account, meaning no penalty.
Ipswich did open the scoring four minutes later through Luis.
