LONDON - The Premier League's VAR system was back in the spotlight at Chelsea on Saturday when officials reportedly said they had made a mistake by not recommending a red card for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Giovani Lo Celso in the Premier League game.

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, who on Monday criticised a VAR decision not to send off Manchester United's England defender Harry Maguire for planting his foot in the groin of Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi, held his head in disbelief. After the game, Lampard said the incident represented just"another huge question mark" for VAR which was introduced to the Premier League this season.
