Proposals to get rid of VAR have intensified following controversial incidents during Arsenal's 1-0 win at Liverpool.

Calls to scrap VAR in the Premier League have intensified following several controversial decisions during Arsenal's 1-0 victory against Liverpool at Anfield. Kai Havertz scored the lone goal of the match, while key disputes centered on referee Andy Madley and video officials denying Liverpool penalty claims. Notably, Jurrien Timber escaped punishment following a shirt pull on Alexander Isak inside the penalty area.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk criticized the officiating post-match, demanding accurate decisions, while former referee Dermot Gallagher suggested Timber was fortunate to avoid punishment. Additional incidents involved Cody Gakpo, Christos Tzolis, Alex Mac Allister, and Noni Madueke, prompting growing debates among fans over whether the technology should be abandoned completely.
