PGMOL chief, Howard Webb, has claimed that there have been only two errors made by the Video Assistant Referee, VAR, so far this season.
VAR has been the subject of controversy since it was introduced in the English top flight in 2019.
But Webb insists the use of the technology is improving and that mistakes are being cut out after a shaky start.
Speaking on the Stick to Football Podcast, Webb said: “I don’t think we managed expectations well in terms of VAR.
“We knew it was always going to be a situation where it was going to do well on those clear situations, the ones where you think, “That’s clearly wrong on first view”.
“We have this independent panel which has got ex-players on it, and they judge each decision each week, and according to the panel there has only been two VAR errors this season compared to 10 at the same time last year.”
