After another round of Premier League fixtures, we have seen yet more VAR controversy. The new technology continues to be the main talking point on our screens every week and there were further concerns raised after Jonjo Shelvey’s goal against Sheffield United.

Shelvey, who ran from behind Andy Carroll, who had been judged to be offside, slotted the ball home to give Newcastle the win. So, in ‘honour’ of another VAR-centric round of fixtures in the Premier League, we have decided to take a look back at some of VAR’s most controversial moments of the season so far…
