West Brom manager Alan Pardew warned that VAR will spoil the entertainment for football fans and cause players injury after a controversial night for the new system at Anfield.
Though Albion enjoyed an impressive 3-2 FA Cup fourth round tie at Anfield, they were on the wrong end of both referee Craig Pawson's big calls, an offside ruling against Gareth Barry after Craig Dawson had scored from a corner, and a penalty award when Jake Livermore brought down Mo Salah.
Worryingly, the Salah decision took almost four minutes to confirm before Roberto Firmino took, and missed, the resulting penalty.
