VAR will help - Guardiola reacts to offside confusion

The Hindu  

Pep Guardiola believes video assistant referees can help to solve football's offside controversies after Manchester City's contentious opening goal in its 3-1 Premier League win over Watford. Sterling was in an offside position when Sergio Aguero touched the ball in his direction, but Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster was beaten because defender Daryl Janmaat's challenge ricocheted off the attacker's shin and in. Even though referee Paul Tierney and his assistant took time to arrive at their decision, Guardiola believes taking that element out of the hands of on-field officials will help when VAR is rolled out in the Premier League next season. READ: Sterling concedes to Man City fortune in offside fiasco "My first comment is we won because we deserved to win by far.
