Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho reiterated his call for major changes to the use of VAR in the Premier League after a video of him berating the fourth official in a 2-0 victory over Manchester City went viral.

Mourinho and his assistant Joao Sacramento charged towards the fourth official after Raheem Sterling was not shown a second yellow card for what they believed was a dive trying to win City a second penalty on Sunday immediately after Ilkay Gundogan's spot-kick was saved.

Mourinho was also unhappy at the award of City's original penalty by VAR and the decision not to change Sterling's yellow card to a red for his challenge on Dele Alli.

"My reaction was just based on I could watch everything on the screen. So I watch the Dele situation, the penalty, the pretending penalty. I watch everything so that creates emotions," Mourinho said on Tuesday.

"I went viral for the wrong reasons but that's the way it is."

In contrast to other Europan leagues, referees have been advised not to use pitchside monitors to review their own decisions and are instead overruled by an official watching the game at the league's VAR hub in London.

A survey released by YouGov on Tuesday showed that 67 per cent of Premier League fans believe VAR has made football less enjoyable, while supporters are also in favour of the referee using the pitchside monitors. (ESPN)
