VAR: Liverpool, other Premier League clubs benefit from technology's controversy

Video Assistant Referee (VAR) still continues to court massive controversy with the technology's recent poor outing in Liverpool vs Wolves being the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The European champions left Wolves furious with a narrow 1-0 win all thanks to Sadio Mane's 42nd minute strike which was overturned by VAR after it was disallowed by the linesman.

Incredibly, Wolves' potential equaliser was disallowed by the technology as Liverpool moved 13 points clear in the Premier League log on a controversial note.

The Reds have now emerged the latest side to benefit from VAR's shambolic refereeing and if not for the technology, they would be leading on the log with just six points.

According to Sunsport's analysis of all 58 decisions made by VAR since the beginning of new season, Liverpool have had four calls in their favour, with two against.

English champions Manchester City had four VAR decisions overturned for them, with three against.
