Prem Refs’ Chief Admits to Four Big Errors By VAR

By Daily Sports on September 13, 2019

Premier League referees’ chief Mike Riley has accepted that there have been four clear errors with VAR since it was introduced at the start of the season.

Riley, who is the general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) and responsible for the implementation of VAR in England, told a Premier League stakeholders’ meeting on Thursday that the system had enjoyed a positive start over the first four rounds of games – but there was room for improvement.

Three decisions should have been changed by the VAR, while a fourth was missed completely by the official at the Stockley Park hub.

Bournemouth vs. Manchester City

City should have been awarded a penalty when David Silva was caught in the area by Jefferson Lerma.

Leicester vs. Bournemouth

Youri Tielemans should have been shown a red card for a studs-up challenge on Callum Wilson.

Newcastle vs. Watford

Fabian Schar’s equaliser for Newcastle against Watford should have been disallowed, with VAR official Craig Pawson missing an Isaac Hayden handball.

West Ham vs. Norwich

Tom Trybull’s foul on Sebastian Haller should have been penalised and a penalty awarded to West Ham.

Other high-profile decisions not considered as mistakes were Harry Kane’s penalty appeal for Tottenham against Newcastle, and Erik Lamela’s alleged foul on Rodri in the area in Man City vs. Spurs. (ESPN)
