The Premier League Table Without VAR: We Take A Look At Which Clubs Would Make The Top 6 - Part 3

5) Arsenal – 13 Pts Without VAR (-1 Difference)

The Gunners would be in the same position in the table, but a point worse off if VAR had not intervened.

Cristian Romero’s handball in the box during the North London derby wasn’t originally caught by the on-pitch referee.

However, VAR reviewed the footage and, after a lengthy deliberation process, it was decided that Arsenal should be given a spot kick.

Bukayo Saka dispatched the penalty and that goal ultimately helped the home side get a point against Tottenham.
