VAR had a weekend to forget as a number of howlers left managers and players fuming in the Premier League.
The technology, brought in to aid the referees and adjudicate on marginal decisions, failed to do so as glaring errors were missed which cost the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea. PGMOL chief Howard Webb, who is new to the role, has sought to improve the standard of officiating, which has copped major criticism in recent years.
One of his main objectives has been to enhance the use of VAR. The system - and those running it at Stockley Park - failed to correctly draw the right lines which would've ruled out Brentford's equaliser at Arsenal, which was clearly offside. Brighton also suffered the same issue when their opener at Crystal Palace was incorrectly chalked off.
