'We don't expect VAR perfection, but we aim for it' - Former Premier League referee Webb

The veteran official oversees the Professional Referee Organisation, which began implementing reviews in MLS in 2017

Former Premier League referee and current head of the Professional Referee Organisation (PRO) Howard Webb says that the usage of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology will never be able to remove all controversy from the game, but to aim is to move as close to perfection as possible.

Webb has been in charge of PRO since 2017 as he became the Manager of Video Assistant Referee Operations, with part of his duties focusing on the implementation of VAR in MLS.
