After taking an early lead through Aaron Ramsey, the Gunners held Spurs off for nearly an hour before Harry Kane, challenging to get on to the end of a free kick, was judged to have been brought down in the box by Shkodran Mustafi. Emery did not complain about the decision directly, but he suggested that VAR might prevent game-changing decisions going the wrong way.
VAR, which was used in the World Cup last year and is use in major leagues across Europe, is set to be used in the Premier League next season after clubs agreed in principle to introduce the technology.“I am proud of our players. You can win, you can lose, you can draw, but above all it’s playing like a team,” he said.For his part, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino said VAR would probably help match officials but the important point would be how the technology was applied.
