In English football, the job of the Dubious Goals Panel is to determine the official scorers of goals in the Barclays Premiership. This usually involves goals scored from deflected shots, and requires the panel to judge whether or not to credit the goalscorer or an own goal. Their most high-profile ruling was the first goal of Liverpool's 3-0 win over Wigan Athletic on 3rd December 2005. There was popular demand to credit much-maligned Liverpool striker Peter Crouch with the goal, although the shot took a deflection and was then dropped over the line by Wigan goalkeeper Mike Pollitt.
