The Premier League claims the 'majority' of supporters are in favour of VAR and the technology has led to a 14 per cent increase in correct decisions.

The Premier League has admitted there have been 20 wrong VAR decisions this season but insists, according to a new survey, the 'majority' of supporters are in favour of the technology – which they claim has led to a 14 per cent increase in correct decisions.

'We are doing too many checks, we're taking too long in doing them as well. It's to a degree understandable, given the level of scrutiny these guys are under. But the reviews are taking too long and it's affecting the flow of the game and we're extremely aware of that and the need to improve that speed while always maintaining the accuracy.' The second area is the 'in-stadium experience' for supporters, which Scholes says simply is not good enough.
