Rejected petition Ensure that VAR is implemented in the Premier League before the 2019/20 starts.

The 2018 world cup shows us that VAR can and does work when used properly. Out of a total of 335 incidents checked through VAR (with an astonishing number of 6.9 average per match), there were 14 decisions changed after VAR reviews. Out of the 24 penalties awarded in the world cup, 7 have been awarded by the VAR system; which is a whopping 29% impact
