Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
5. Sept. 16: Aston Villa 3-1 Crystal Palace
Villa were awarded a spot kick in the 93rd minute, which the VAR told the referee should be overturned. However, at the monitor Darren England rejected the advice and stuck with his decision. It was 1-1, and Villa went on to score twice in added time.
7. and 8. Sept. 30: Aston Villa 6-1 Brighton & Hove Albion
Two wrong decisions, both against Brighton. First, with the score 1-0, an Ollie Watkins goal should have been ruled out with Nicolò Zaniolo in front of the goalkeeper. Then the third goal from Watkins in the 26th minute should also have been chalked off for a foul by Douglas Luiz on Solly March.
9. Sept. 30: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Liverpool
The most-infamous VAR error of them all. A communication error by Darren England led to Luis Díaz's goal remaining disallowed for offside. It was 0-0 at the time and Spurs scored their first goal a few minutes afterwards.
11. Oct. 27: Crystal Palace 1-2 Tottenham
Palace's stoppage-time consolation from Jordan Ayew was allowed to stand when it should have been ruled out for handball.

So, not recommending that Nketiah be sent off for his assault on Vicario early in the season was not an error by VAR?
The Key Match Incident panel are almost as bad as VAR.
Has football looked at bringing in a cricket style VAR challenge system?
Keep semi-automated off side, and goalline tech. For all the other stuff, teams get 2 challenges per match, called by the on field captain, within a time limit.
Like cricket, if VAR overturns the on field decision, you keep your challenges.
It puts more onus on the teams, and less onus on the VAR to referee absolutely everything. Also more interest and engagement for the in stadium spectators.

Yeah and that’s the factor I think they’ve missed. Like those are the stats for the incidents they’ve selected, but there are other incidents that aren’t included that should be.
And honestly…we were given two penalties all season while the others in the “big six” had 10-12. It’s completely ridiculous. I do think it doesn’t necessarily even out, and it’s not as though each club should have 10. But there’s something wrong when some clubs are getting 1/2 and others are getting 5 times that.
And, looking at the issues since inception, no wonder Wolves are so upset. The -18 for them is really unbelievable!
They have judged that var didn't get the niketeh one wrong. It's one of the reasons VAR making better decisions stats are bumpf. They mark their own homework
IMO the lines aren't fat and blurry enough. If a line can be used to determine that an attacking player's shirt sleeve was perhaps offside then it's a bewilderingly bad usage of the technology that gives everyone false assurances as to the accuracy of the technology.
Bugger.
Was hoping at least for some more votes to scrap it, so there's more pressure to improve it.
