The Premier League’s refereeing body have admitted they got two major calls wrong on a weekend of madness that saw VAR reviews blight the action on the field.
The top flight will investigate incidents that saw seemingly good goals chalked off for West Ham and Newcastle, while PGMOL are understood to have acknowledged privately that the VAR interventions to disallow the goals were incorrect. The refereeing body will cooperate with the Premier League after their request to review the two incidents, and use them to educate officials.
West Ham manager David Moyes, who has avoided punishment from the FA for his post-match criticism, described the decision to disallow Maxwel Cornet’s late equaliser at Chelsea as ‘scandalous’ and ‘rotten’.
