Manchester City would see their Premier League title lead cut as Manchester United slip outside the Champions League places if VAR was not used this season.
A study by ESPN shows that both United and City have gained just one point through interventions by the video assistant.
But, Pep Guardiola's side would have seen their lead at the summit decreased by two points, with Liverpool moving to within seven of the reigning champions as opposed to the current nine-point breathing space between the two North West sides.
