(Reuters) - The Premier League can learn from the implementation of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system in the Champions League and on-field referees must review incidents on pitchside monitors to remove all doubt, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard said on Monday.
VAR has stirred up a debate since its introduction in the Premier League this season, with a number of decisions either being wrongly overturned or not at all much to the annoyance of managers, players and supporters.
"The use of the screen on the side of the pitch can help because we've seen... in the Premier League decisions that firstly they've taken a long time to get to, which seems to bring in the fact there's an element of doubt," Lampard told reporters. "And it hasn't been used sparingly, It's not been used at all. I do think that's probably one thing we could look at."
"I have to accept it's expected of Chelsea to go through and that is no disrespect to any other teams," Lampard said."I said at the start that this group would be tight because all the teams could take points off each other.
