Cesar Azpilicueta slams VAR as he discusses Harry Maguire penalty call

VAR was again under attack after Cesar Azpilicueta questioned why the pitch-side monitor was not used after he was hauled down by Harry Maguire. Maguire was seen with his arms around Azpilicueta's neck as the ball was flighted in, yet it went unpunished. The Spaniard felt the decision could've gone either way but was surprised that referee Martin Atkinson didn't take a moment to review the decision. "A good question," said the Chelsea star when asked whether he was fouled. "On the pitch I felt yes and I felt arms around my neck and shoulders. "The referee can make the decision, the VAR is there [to help]. In any situation the referee takes the main decisions and the monitor is there for him to help. "It was 50-50 so why not take 20 seconds to review it? I think VAR can improve a lot. It happens, it is football, I don't say every time there is contact there should be a penalty. "In England there is strong physical contact. In football and in the Premier League always we should seek improvement - it is not a criticism, we can all help together to make a better league."
