Webb: Premier League referees set to explain VAR decisions

In an effort to improve communication with fans, chief refereeing officer Howard Webb has said Premier League referees could soon announce to stadium crowds and television audiences why they have changed their decisions after visiting the VAR monitor.

Explanations would only be announced when a referee has visited the pitch-side monitor and not VAR checks which do not result in the on-field decision being overturned.

The change must still be approved by the Premier League, although that is expected to be a formality for it to be introduced for next season.
