The introduction of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system to the Premier League in 2019 was an important milestone in football as a sport that is enjoyed by millions all across the world. Since its inception, VAR has been used to review goals, penalties, and red cards, as well as other incidents that may have gone unnoticed by match officials during live play. While some argue that VAR is an invaluable tool for referees and should be implemented across all major football leagues, others believe it takes away from the excitement of watching a game unfold in real time.
