Premier League bosses have ordered an urgent review into the “abysmal” VAR decisions at Chelsea and Newcastle.
It is an unprecedented step but shows the level of frustration over the decisions which denied Newcastle and West Ham goals against Crystal Palace and Chelsea respectively.
Referees’ body PGMOL will now be expected to explain the reasoning behind each decision which has led to a furious backlash. The PGMOL have effectively accepted mistakes were made at Chelsea and Newcastle and will co-operate fully with the review.
