London, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Feb, 2018 ) :VAR technology is back in the spotlight after Manchester United's Juan Mata was controversially denied a goal in a confusing incident that raises questions over whether it is ready for a Premier League rollout.
The video assistant referee system has been trialled in hundreds of matches around the world to review key moments linked to goals, penalty decisions, red-card incidents and cases of mistaken identity.
Football's governing body FIFA will decide next month whether to officially endorse the VAR system, a move that could see the controversial technology used at the World Cup.
The Premier League is lagging behind the Bundesliga and Serie A, which are testing the technology this season but Saturday's incident, which saw a Mata goal cancelled out after a lengthy delay, was just the latest in a series of contentious moments involving VAR in England.
AFP sports looks at the key issues that must be resolved.
