Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino says he 'trusts the car but the driver is the problem' amid the ongoing debate around the use of VAR technology.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino said he "trusts in the car but it is the driver that is the problem" amid the ongoing debate around the use of video assistant referee technology."I think when the referee makes mistakes, we can all accept [it]. When it happens with technology it is difficult to understand."

Luis Diaz's goal was incorrectly disallowed at 0-0 last Saturday despite being clearly onside as a breakdown in communications between the on-pitch officials and VAR teams meant the original decision was not overturned. PGMOL, which said it is committed to introducing a new 'VAR communication protocol' as part of a review, believes the move will enhance the clarity of communication between the referee and VAR team in relation to decisions.Postecoglou's Spurs moved above Liverpool to second place after Joel Matip's late own-goal decided an eventful and contentious Premier League match last weekend.

He added: "Whatever I say is maybe going to seen through the prism that we were the beneficiaries of the mistake. The facts are there was a legitimate goal that Liverpool scored which wasn't given. Postecoglou was asked, had he been aware of the error at the time, whether he would have potentially gifted a goal back.
