The Premier League Goal Accreditation Panel determines the goalscorers in the Premier League where the identity of the person who got the goal is open to debate.
The identity of the goalscorer is quickly identified by Opta, the Premier League's official data partners.
However, if there is doubt over the identification, it is reviewed by a three-person panel at the Premier League Match Centre.
The panel usually consists of a representative of the PGMOL and two football experts.
Although there is no strict timescale on the accreditation of a goal, a conclusion is sought at the earliest possible convenience, with the utmost priority given to ensuring the final decision is correct.
The panel's decision is passed on to the Premier League's digital team and Opta, who ensure the goalscorer is communicated through their official channels.
A club can appeal against a decision to the Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Appeals Panel, who will review the footage and come to a decision.
