Southampton Boss Ralph Hasenhuettl Hails Better Use of VAR Despite Loss to Crystal Palace

News 18  

The Video Assistant Referee came in for rare praise after Crystal Palace’s 1-0 home win over Southampton on Saturday, as Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuettl heaved a sigh of relief after defender Kyle Walker-Peters’ red card was rescinded. Walker-Peters was harshly dismissed for a high challenge on Tyrick Mitchell in the second half but referee Jon Moss changed it to a yellow after reviewing the incident on a pitchside monitor following the intervention of VAR Craig Pawson. “I spoke last season about how referee should go to the screen more often so I think this was absolutely better with the VAR now,” Hasenhuettl told the BBC. The Premier League said last month clubs had unanimously agreed to implement global soccer governing body FIFA’s guidelines on its implementation.
