Former England defender Gary Neville says VAR is ‘imperfect’ but insists the system is working well at this summer’s World Cup in Russia.
The introduction of VAR has received mixed reviews at the World Cup and it came to the fore on Monday evening.
In a late twist, Spain won Group B thanks to an injury-time equaliser against Morocco that was originally flagged for offside and Iran netted a late penalty after VAR helped overturn the referee’s original decision.
“It’s not as simple as VAR works or VAR doesn’t work,” he said.”It’s been imperfect at this tournament – and it will continue to get better.”Aspects are working really well and aspects of it aren’t working well.”
