The Professional Games Match Officals Limited has confirmed that the Premier League will not use VAR to determine the goalkeeper’s position at penalties next season.
VAR will be put to use in the Premier League for the first time from August but a goalkeeper’s position at penalty kicks will be left to the on-field officials during the match, the Professional Games Match Officals Limited have confirmed.
The Premier League want to avoid a situation where every penalty could be reviewed to check the goalkeeper’s position. The PGMOL say VAR is an ongoing process and will continue to be looked at during the season.
