Premier League clubs vote against scrapping VAR despite last season's brutal errors

VAR will continue in the Premier League next season after clubs voted in favour of the technology but insisted on improvements.

The use of VAR will continue in the Premier League next season because most clubs decided the league is better off with the system.

Wolverhampton Wanderers put forward a motion that the league should abandon VAR, but it was rejected by clubs, who voted 19-1 to keep it, with the league proposing several tweaks to the system instead.

Last season featured several errors and controversial VAR decisions, costing teams valuable points.

VAR to remain in Premier League next season

PGMOL chief Howard Webb offered apologies to a number of clubs throughout the season, and Wolves who felt bitterly disappointed believed the system had failed in its 5 years.

The club's motion required 14 votes to pass but 19 of the 20 top-flight clubs backed keeping the review system which was introduced in 2019.
