Mixed reactions over VAR introduction in Premier League

English Premier League is finally back after a long time of waiting. Forget about all that happened in the last season as changes are expected in England’s elite tournament.

The season 2019-20 comes with a lot of things; players have had a good time to rest, transfers have taken place, new teams have joined the League and more importantly, the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) makes its debut in the competition.

The EPL officially begins on Friday with Liverpool facing Norwich City in their opener. Six matches will be played on Saturday with the remaining three being played on Sunday.
