The Lilywhites have been rejuvenated by Ange Postecoglou, who took the helm at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer. But, incredibly, Spurs would have two more points if there was no VAR, which means they are currently the biggest losers from the use of the technology.<\/p>\n<p>VAR has come under fire time and time again this season due to its laborious nature and general inconsistencies. VAR\u2019s biggest failure came when Liverpool winger Luis Diaz had a goal ruled out for offside against Spurs at the end of last month even though he was clearly onside when the ball was played through to him by Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\n<p>That mistake was down to human error as VAR Darren England and assistant VAR Daniel Cook failed to overturn the original decision after checking the footage. But the incident illustrates just how fragile the technology can be.<\/p>\n<p>Despite benefitting from the mistake on that occasion, VAR has proved costly to Tottenham in other matches as it has overturned decisions that would have handed them two more points overall. Without VAR, Spurs would have 22 points rather than 20 points and would have a three-point advantage over second-place Arsenal as the Gunners would have had one of their points chalked off. The two north London giants are currently level pegging.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Liverpool star Gravenberch warned he may not have a place after summer arrival<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5017399.jpg?r=1697580564458\"><\/p>\n<p>Manchester City would still be third on 18 points without VAR as their results would have been the same, but Liverpool would be alongside them instead of one point behind. Meanwhile, Premier League giants Manchester United would have an extra point and would move up one place to ninth.<\/p>\n<p>Burnley would have also benefited in the same manner as Tottenham as they would also have accumulated an extra two points and would be 17th in the table instead of 18th. Brighton would be the biggest losers without VAR as poor decisions would have cost them a couple of points.<\/p>\n<p>We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you&#8217;ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
