Clubs tell the Premier League VAR will have to improve after Euro 2020 showed it CAN work with a 'light touch' - now the top flight is ready to listen to the five English refs who excelled at the tournament

Pressure is mounting on the Premier League to revise how it uses VAR after the 'light-touch' approach at Euro 2020 won widespread praise.

The head of Euro 2020 referees, Roberto Rosetti, and top flight clubs have effectively joined forces to demand a less interventionist approach in the coming season.

And the Premier League is well placed to make the change.

Five of the league's best officials, who all excelled at Euro 2020, are due to brief their colleagues when they return from holiday on how the championships got VAR right, while the top flight has been accused of getting it wrong.
