Premier League referees undergo video technology trial

A number of Premier League referees will be part of a three-day video technology trial this week

Premier League referees will this week complete a three-day trial as the introduction of video technology in the top flight moves closer.

Match officials have been at St George's Park in Burton-upon-Trent for a three-day under-18s tournament during which video assistant referee (VAR) technology has been used to communicate between the on-pitch referee and a second man watching the game on a bank of screens.
The VAR system was recently used at the Confederations Cup and the plan is to use it for televised FA Cup third-round games and at the EFL Cup semi-finals and final this season, before eventually rolling it out in the Premier League.
