Man City look like champions again, and it'll take more than VAR to stop them

LONDON -- The 59,870 people present at the London Stadium on Saturday for Manchester City's latest demolition of West Ham United will no doubt one day wistfully tell their grandchildren that they were present for a moment of history: yes, they were lucky enough to be there on the day the first Premier League goal was disallowed by the video assistant referee.

VAR has arrived, ruling out a Gabriel Jesus goal in City's 5-0 victory, and while it may well increase the number of correct decisions in the Premier League, it has also clearly changed how the fans who show up to the stadium experience the game.
