Christian Norgaard’s red card against the Blues on November 23 was one of the events mentioned; the panel argued that it shouldn’t have been given and it was later overturned on appeal.
The BeIN SPORTS analyst mocked the regulating body on X, stating: “Really? Who puts this crap together? Yes, PGMOL does.
Secrecy surrounding VAR does not benefit Everton
It is absurd that the Premier League has not released the missed interventions.
If the Blues revert to relegation danger near the conclusion of the season, some of those decisions could have a significant impact on them.
For instance, denying Beto a penalty in the 4-0 victory over Leicester may backfire on the Toffees if they were demoted on goal differential, which is improbable at this point.
Additionally, it exposes the PGMOL to accusations of prejudice and cover-ups, and supporters lose faith in the occasional admissions they make.
Decisions, particularly controversial ones involving VAR, should be made more transparent rather than under a veil of secrecy.
Luckily for the Goodison Park outfit, they have a nine-point buffer on the drop zone so they should not need VAR to help them out this season.
