Arsenal boss Unai Emery called for consistency with VAR after their 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
At 2-2, Sokratis had goal disallowed via video evidence.
And Emery later stated: "VAR has come in and we've decided to have it for this reason. When the referees use that in the right way, I think it's going to be amazing because it will reduce the referees' mistakes. Now, we have started not checking a lot of actions because we don't want to stop the rhythm or the pace of the match. OK, but we also need to check the important ones. For example, against Bournemouth the penalty on Pepe. Last week, the penalty on Sokratis. They were very clear and in the match, it's a penalty. OK, they didn't check because the referee didn't watch it and decided he didn't want to check it.
"This evening, maybe this week, they are starting to check more because they are thinking they need to check more actions because a lot of difficult decisions for the referee are coming, and they want to take more time to check that. Also, for me the penalty was perfect because they decided it was a penalty. It's perfect because it helped the referee in this action. But our goal, the third goal, he is not fouled. That is not a foul.
"Who is the person who checked that? If the referee watched that action on the TV, I am sure he would not decide that it was a foul. In the office with the TV, I don't know who the person is who decides this."
