Kevin De Bruyne believes that unclear rules are making the implementation of VAR more difficult in the Premier League.
Manchester City are into their fourth season of matches involving Video Assistant Referees being able to check decisions, with the marginal offside that ruled out Raheem Sterling's last-minute winner in their Champions League quarter-final with Spurs in 2019 an early sign of the drama that the technology could both add and take away from the game.
Players quickly expressed their concerns at not being able to celebrate goals until every angle had been checked for infringements, while ongoing frustrations with VAR include that match-going fans are too often not kept in the loop about decisions and that there is a lack of consistency in how officials use the technology.
