Premier League teams worst affected by VAR have been revealed

There have been some shockers!

An initial 13-mistake-long list was published by BBC Sport in January, who compiled data from the PGMOL Key Match Incidents Panel (KMI), over the course of the season. This has since been updated following later reports of mistakes confirmed by the KMI panel.

The KMI panel is made up of former players, coaches, and representatives from the Premier League and Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO), who meet weekly to discuss decisions made the previous week, and conclude as and where errors are made.

It's important to note that while the KMI panel has admitted to officials making other "on-field" mistakes, not all of these were "clear and obvious" to justify the intervention of VAR.

Take the game between Manchester United and Burnley in January for example. Around the 27th minute, Lisandro Martinez had a goal ruled out, after on-field officials ruled he had fouled Kyle Walker before scoring.

On review, the KMI panel reached the decision that the goal should have stood, but that the mistake did not meet the threshold of a "clear and obvious error," meaning VAR was right not to intervene, even though the decision was incorrect.

Another strong example of a circumstance in which an official may make an on-field error that doesn't qualify as a VAR error, would be in failing to award a second yellow card.

According to official Premier League rules video technology is still not permitted to intervene on second yellow offences, a rule that is set to change ahead of next season.

Premier League clubs who have benefitted most

The Arsenal haters will revel in this one, as the league champions have been revealed as the club who have benefitted the most from VAR and referee errors, alongside Chelsea.

The Gunners also didn't concede a single red card or penalty throughout the campaign.

According to the BBC's data, Arsenal had three VAR errors - there were 25 in total across the league - and four referee errors in their favour, with two referee errors against them, giving them a net score of 5.

Chelsea had four VAR errors - including two of the three VAR intervention in the whole league - and four referee errors in their favour, and three ref errors against them, giving them a net of 5.

The VAR intervention errors led to a disallowed goal for Fulham and a penalty against Crystal Palace.

Manchester United and Liverpool are more mid-table, with net scores of 0 and -1, respectively.

At the bottom of the pile are Leeds United, who have a net score of -4, and Aston Villa, with a net score or -3.
