The big winners without VAR Arsenal Gabriel Martinelli goal disallowed for a foul in the buildup by Martin Odegaard in the 12th minute when the score was goalless. The Gunners’ superior form going into the game is a key factor in the VAR Effect Table concluding they would have won the game after scoring first. It’s a swing of three points to Arsenal and restores their 100% record.
Tottenham Hotspur Manchester City (points unchanged) into second position. Spurs had a penalty overturned in a 1-1 draw at West Ham when Aaron Cresswell had been penalised for handball; the draw at the London Stadium becomes an away win.
The biggest climbers are Leeds United and Everton Conor Coady goal for offside, giving them an additional two points.
AFC Bournemouth Wolverhampton Wanderers Raul Jimenez had a late goal ruled out for a foul in the buildup which would have made the scoreline 2-0.
The final team to benefit in points are West Ham United Maxwel Cornet equaliser at Chelsea ruled out by the VAR for a foul by Jarrod Bowen , a decision which was later admitted to be a mistake and caused huge controversy. The Hammers have a net gain of one point across all decisions.
Brighton & Hove Albion Leicester City Newcastle United
This might come as a surprise to Newcastle fans, but while the home draw against Crystal Palace — when Tyrick Mitchell ‘s own goal was incorrectly ruled out by the VAR — becomes a Magpies win, they have also benefitted from more VAR calls than any other team, with the penalty won against Bournemouth and the disallowed Wolves goal giving them additional points.
