The Premier League tested VAR in all five of Saturday's 3pm kick-offs and only one decision would have been overturned.

The tests revealed Leroy Sane's disallowed goal in Manchester City's 3-0 win over Fulham would have been allowed to stand if a video assistant referee had been in use.

VAR will be used in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup this seasons if the ties are being played at Premier League grounds.

Before the beginning of the season, clubs voted to not implement the system for league games.
