The divisive Premier League VAR debate rages on after Saturday's controversy involving Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.

PGMOL were forced to acknowledge 'serious human error' in disallowing Luis Diaz's equaliser for the Reds and left Liverpool seeking further action for justice after losing the match in the dying minutes.

Aston Villa and Wolves have been involved in their fair share of VAR controversies too, both picking up and losing points in incidents.
