The Premier League returned on Saturday with its usual mix of drama, excitement and controversy, with refereeing decisions and VAR once again a big talking point.
Following his side's 3-1 defeat byArsenal, Spurs boss Antonio Conte suggested refereeing and VAR in England is not at the required level, having seen his player sent off for a second half foul on Gabriel Martinelli.
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish questioned the point of VAR, while Marco Silva was upset with the decisions.
It is difficult in England because there isn't the same line.
Sometimes you see a yellow card instead of a red card, and other times you see a yellow card instead of a red card.
The decisions which created the most debate were looked at by the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Emerson was sent off in the 62nd minute with the game tied at 2.
The Italian said that the standard of refereeing in England needed to be improved.
They go to Italy on Thursday and stay there for three days to look at the video and try and improve.
I don't know if they do that in this country, but it would be a good idea because the level is so high.
Every part of the situation has to be top for it to be a good one.
Dion Dublin said that he deserved a red card.
Dublin said that he still thought it was a red. He caught him above the calf after the ball went. I believe it is a red.
At Selhurst Park, Graham Potter's first victory as a manager was spoiled by a key decision in the first half, but Crystal Palace's manager was left angry by the decision.
The Brazilian should have been sent off for deliberately knocking the ball out of Jordan's path.
Silva was given a yellow card by the officials as they felt he did not deny a goal scoring opportunity, according to a premier league spokesman.
He saw it differently than the other way around.
"I can't believe how he was able to stay on the field and play a part in the goal," said Vieira.
Palace chairman Parish was upset with the decision.
The referee was right to show Silva a yellow card according to the man.
It was the right decision for Silva to go away from goal and deny a goal. The referee got it right, but Silva is the main talking point.
Another manager to be left unhappy by a key decision in his game was Silva, who watched his side play most of the game with 10 men after Nathaniel Chalobah was sent off.
Silva called for consistency after the referee upgraded his decision to a red after VAR intervention after initially showing a yellow for the challenge.
There was a referee there. It was a yellow card, he said. Silva said it was difficult to accept because he had not found a picture of Nathaniel's tackle.
I would accept it if it will always be that way. One will be a yellow card in that situation.
The situation is hard to comprehend. If we don't see consistency, we have to give the yellow card.
It will be a yellow card in the next few weeks in tough matches, that's what I believe. These decisions seem odd to us.
The study found that the referees in the premier league show less red cards than their counterparts in other European leagues.
The top flights in France, Germany, Italy and Spain all award red cards at a higher rate than the top flights in the Premier League.
In the past six seasons, red cards have been awarded at a rate of between 164 and 209 fouls per sending-off, so while still early in the season, they appear to be less harsh.
The yellow card is shown only once every 5.25 fouls in the English top flight, which is the second lowest in the world.
More than one thousand fouls were awarded by referees in England.
While some managers were left frustrated, Thomas Frank praised inexperienced referee Thomas Bramall's "character and calm head" after he stuck to his decision not to award Bournemouth a penalty.
I would like to praise Thomas for his work. Frank said that every premier league game is important.
When you're called over to the monitor, his character and calm head was crucial.
Nine out of 10 times it's a penalty and it's a crucial decision for the game.
He sticks to his decision, that's what it says about him. I'm pretty sure that's not a penalty for him.
