VAR Chiefs Apologise for Screen Error in Tottenham Draw
The company supplying Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology in the Premier League has apologised following a graphic error during Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with Watford.
Spurs midfielder Dele Alli salvaged a point for Spurs four minutes from time, cancelling out Abdoulaye Doucoure’s opener.
However referee Christopher Kavanagh initiated a VAR check for a suspected handball.
Kavanagh signalled for a goal following the review, but an error from the base at Stockley Park triggered a message of ‘No Goal’ on the big screen.
The situation caused confusion among both sets of supporters – and the company, Hawk-Eye Innovations, has vowed to work alongside the Premier League to ensure there is no repeat scenario.
