Premier League to review controversial VAR calls

The Premier League will review as a priority with Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the refereeing body, two controversial VAR decisions which saw Newcastle United and West Ham United have crucial goals disallowed on Saturday.

Newcastle thought they had scored the 51st minute when Crystal Palace defender Tyrick Mitchell put the ball in his own net. But Lee Mason, one of two full-time VARs in the Premier League, advised referee Michael Salisbury to rule out the goal for a foul by Joe Willock on Vicente Guaita.

However, Willock appeared to be pushed into the Palace goalkeeper by Mitchell. The game finished goalless.
