Arsenal has been identified as one of the teams significantly impacted by erroneous VAR decisions as they contend for the Premier League title.
The introduction of VAR in football aimed to mitigate errors and assist referees in making accurate judgments. However, its efficacy has been questioned throughout its tenure in the Premier League.
Rather than rectifying mistakes, VAR often disrupts the flow of the game, consumes time, and does not prevent officials from committing substantial errors.
Consequently, there have been calls from supporters to abolish VAR altogether, prompting the Premier League to implement a program aimed at elucidating contentious decisions.
While nearly every club has encountered incorrect VAR rulings, certain teams have endured a greater frequency of such occurrences.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Liverpool has encountered the highest number of adverse VAR decisions, enduring at least four instances where VAR rulings were deemed erroneous.
Following Liverpool, Brighton and Wolves share the second position, each experiencing three erroneous VAR decisions. Arsenal occupies the fourth position, having suffered from at least two incorrect VAR rulings.
Just Arsenal Opinion
VAR is now a part of our game, and the officials have shown a remarkable lack of consistency, so we need to focus on winning games regardless of the circumstances.

You missed out the part where we had 2 VAR decisions go our way from the same report ,so pretty much evens that out .
And the two going our way is the joint second most, apparently.
Yes, the Odegard handball which would have led to a penalty & presumably the more recent Gabriel foul v Liverpool which should have got him a second yellow.
Ødegaard.
I do wish that JA Opinion were not always so brief and that it said something far more detailed than it ever does.
As things stand, it seems to me the JA opinion writers seem to want to finish their pieces so quickly that they fob us off with ultra brief statements of the obvious and of that ONLY.
.If I may quote Oliver Twist,, “please sir, I want some more”!
Hire the legendary Italian referee, the one and only Pierluigi collina to stream line PGMOL and the current mess will be history.
But controversy and conspiracy theories sells, so there will be no appetite to end it, atleast not yet.
I dont get this article, it lacks ANY information. It tells us nothing.
“VAR often disrupts the flow of the game, consumes time, and does not prevent officials from committing substantial errors”
Not going to argue the first two points, but if you were expecting there to be no errors (or controversies, which aren’t always due to errors) at all, you were always going to be disappointed – the question is whether they are making fewer mistakes with var. And if they are making fewer mistakes, is it enough of an improvement to justify the extra time and disruption to the flow of the game? I think the answer to both is yes, but many disagree.
Var is run by humans
