How the Premier League table would look right now without VAR

Used in the two recent World Cups and trialled in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup last season, the replay system has taken plenty of flak.

Many feel the natural, fundamental element of football is slowly being taken out of the game, the drama and celebration after a goal is scored is subsequently lost as the mechanical referee is consulted.

More questions were asked of some of this season’s newly implemented rules as technology played a pivotal role in the weekend’s action.

On Saturday, Gabriel Jesus thought he had netted an injury-time winner for City, but his strike was ruled out by VAR after replays showed the ball brushed Aymeric Laporte’s arm in the build-up to the goal.
