Martin Keown, a former Arsenal player, calls for the suspension of VAR following a string of “glaring mistakes.”

After a weekend filled with major mistakes, Martin Keown, a legendary ARSENAL player, shockingly called for the suspension of VAR.

His former team and Brentford drew 1-1, but Ivan Toney of the Bees scored the equalizer after Christian Norgaard had been caught offside during the buildup.

As he was concentrating on another incident in the lead-up to the goal, the VAR referee Lee Mason allegedly forgot to draw the lines to determine whether the Dane was onside.

Pervis Estupinian’s goal for Brighton was incorrectly disallowed for offside by Stockley Park referee John Brookes, who based his determination on the wrong Crystal Palace defender.

In the meantime, Howard Webb has called a meeting with all officials, and the PGMOL, the organization that oversees referees, has written to Arsenal and Brighton to apologize, citing human error.

Keown, who is furious, suggests that VAR might need to be abandoned until the officials can use it effectively.

He told talkSPORTIs it approaching the point where we must halt VAR until we get it 100% correct? These errors are very obvious.

I’m trying to find a comparable in any other job or walk of life, to not forget to put a line in.

We obviously want to advance in the Premier League, be innovative, and set the bar high.
