Renée Slegers said teams in the Women’s Super League “need just decisions” and called for video assistant referees and the use of technology after two controversial disallowed goals were among officiating talking points in Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

“In a game like this we need just decisions. We need justice. That’s where I think VAR and technology can come in,” said the Arsenal manager. “There’s more and more at stake in the WSL, at the top but also in the relegation battle and everywhere in between. We have to look at how we grow the game in all aspects.”
