Goals; penalty decisions; direct red-card incidents; and mistaken identity

When will VAR be used in Premier League matches?

The VAR is constantly monitoring the match.

VAR will be used only for "clear and obvious errors" or "serious missed incidents" in four match-changing situations: goals; penalty decisions; direct red-card incidents; and mistaken identity.

But factual decisions such as offsides, and the issue of whether a player is inside or outside the penalty area, are not subject to the "clear and obvious" test.

If the VAR sees an error has been made in such a situation they will intervene, regardless of how marginal the decision is.

There will be a high bar for the VARs to intervene on subjective decisions, to maintain the pace and intensity of matches.
