The referee's body was asked to review the VAR incidents at the two games.

The day was marked by a series of decisions that were either overturned thanks to the intervention of VAR or not given despite the presence of the review system enraged managers of multiple teams

The circumstances surrounding key decisions at St James' Park have been called into question by the premier league.

In west London, West Ham were denied a late goal when the goal was ruled out by the VAR due to a foul on the goalkeeper in the build up.

It was one of the worst VAR decisions since it came into the game, according to the Hammers player.

  • The goal was not allowed and the call was terrible.

Even though Tyrick Mitchell pushed Willock into Guaita, the goal was ruled out for a foul by Joe Willock.

Eddie Howe said that the goal was a perfect one.

Dean claimed in a newspaper column that he had just a few seconds to review the incident, even though he took more than a minute to make a decision.

"No one is happy" with the VAR system, said the Spurs boss as he questioned if the league should get rid of it completely.

Thomas Tuchel and David Moyes post match
David Moyes says that it was a scandalous decision to rule out his side's late equaliser against Chelsea whilst Thomas Tuchel believes it was a clear foul on the goalkeeper. 

The decision of VAR Jarred Gillett to advise Andy Madley to go to the screen to take another look at the goal was lambasted by the West Ham manager.

The goalkeeper fumbled it out of his hands as he took it. He acted as if he had hurt his shoulder. The ref was sent to the screen by the VAR.

I didn't think he would overturn this even if he went to the TV. It was a huge mistake.

I question the VAR more than the ref. The referee should have stood his ground and done what he was told.

There is no excuse for the VAR to be used. There is no excuse for that not to be a goal today.

This is the level of elite refereeing we have at the moment. The goalkeeper tried to fake an injury in order to score the first goal.

New people are in charge. I don't have faith in them anymore.
