The Premier League have confirmed that VAR will not rule on goalkeepers who stray off their line next season when attempting to save penalties.
The use of the Video Assistant Referee will be introduced into the English top flight for the first time from August, after being trialled in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup - as well as being used in the Champions League.
But chiefs have decided, as reported by The Times, that on-field referees will have the final say next season if goalkeepers move off their line too early - rather than referring to the use of technology.
