Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has said VAR needs to improve after its opening months in English football and he believes the controversy surrounding the system will reduce.
According to Billy Hawkins of TalkSport, Masters said VAR has improved accuracy during its first six months of use in England.
"[Referees have] had to take on something pretty big in VAR, and we knew there would be controversy associated with it. It is probably the biggest change to the running of matches in the Premier League since its inception.
"So it was never going to be totally straightforward, and as I’ve said on a number of occasions it is having a positive effect on the accuracy of our decision making, so we are seeing referees’ and assistants’ decisions improve.
