​Premier League VAR will not rule on keepers moving at penalties

The Premier League will not use video assistant referees in 2019-20 to rule on goalkeepers moving off their line to save a penalty, reports BBC Sport.

Three penalties have been retaken at the Women's World Cup after VAR ruled keepers did not have at least part of one foot on the goal-line.

Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) will leave such decisions to on-field officials.

PGMOL could review the situation during the season.

VAR will be used in the Premier League for the first time during 2019-20.
