The company that provides VAR technology promised to work with officials and the Premier League after problems mired a 1-1 draw between Tottenham Hotspur and Watford.

Watford initially got off to a flying start in Saturday’s match when Abdoulaye Doucoure scored in the sixth minute for the visitors. The league’s basement club, however, were later not given a potential penalty when Gerard Deulofeu was tripped by Jan Vertonghen.

More controversy arose when Dele Alli denied Watford their first win in nine games with a late strike that was initially ruled out for handball then awarded after a VAR review, even though Harry Kane appeared to push defender Christian Kabasele in the build-up.

The moment was also shrouded in confusion when the screens at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium at first said “No Goal” before correcting itself to show the goal had been awarded.

Hawk-Eye Innovations, the company which provides the technology, apologised to both teams’ fans “for the confusion caused.”

“We are working together with the Professional Game Match Officials Board and the Premier League to understand the root cause of this problem and propose a series of measures to ensure it won’t happen again,” it said in a statement. (ESPN)
