Watford boss Javi Gracia backing VAR

Watford boss Javi Gracia continues to back the introduction of VAR.

VAR has come under fire again this week following Manchester United's victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

When asked if he was a fan of VAR in the wake of United's win over PSG, secured by a controversial late penalty, Gracia replied: “I don't know. In this moment I don't know, but I have spoke many times about that.

“I think my opinion always was that if VAR is good for the referees I accept it and I support that decision.

“But I think, for the future, VAR can reduce the mistakes, I think so. We need time to adapt to these new situations, but I am confident VAR can reduce the mistakes."
