Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish is 100 per cent behind VAR.

He says the video technology gives justice to smaller clubs against the Premier League giants.

"I have been doing this for 10 years," said the Palace co-owner.

This is the first time I have come away from stadiums playing away where the big home teams are moaning about decisions because the guy in the box is making the decision based on what he sees.

In spite of everyone's best intentions, there are other influences when it is the ref. There was no-one in that stadium who thought it was a dive (by Zaha) when it happened. All I have seen is people saying it is exactly the thing that VAR should be used for."
