"Deep into first half stoppage time, Brentford had scored a second goal through Igor Thiago, but it was later ruled out for offside. Because of SAOT not being available at the time, the check took longer than usual, as lines had to be drawn by the video assistant referee, as used in previous seasons. Despite the lack of SAOT, the correct decision of offside was still reached."

Semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) was unavailable at the start of Brentford's 2-0 win at West Ham because of a global Amazon Web Services outage. The Premier League announced the match would begin without SAOT and that VAR would use virtual offside lines if required, with SAOT to be implemented if it became available. Brentford's deep first-half stoppage-time goal by Igor Thiago was later ruled out for offside; the offside check took longer because the video assistant referee had to draw lines manually. The correct offside decision was reached. SAOT was brought into operation at the start of the second half and used for the remainder of the fixture.
