Everton's top flight status has been preserved for another year allowing Blues supporters to relax over the summer before looking forward to a new season with fresh hope for the future.
But would their eventual 16th-placed outcome have been any different without the use of VAR technology? The boffins at ESPN have taken it upon themselves to log all VAR decisions across the Premier League this season and calculate how the results impacted the outcome of games, in what is the third campaign that the divisive technology has been in use.
ESPN's General Editor Dale Johnson said: "Our calculation is not just about the number of times a team gets a favourable VAR call, or about how many goals are affected. What's more important is when these VAR decisions take place, how they might have changed the course of the match and, crucially, whether that impacted upon the final score line."
