British press reports indicated that Arsenal and Chelsea were the most benefited from errors of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology in the English Premier League during the current season, according to the recently issued official refereeing reports.

According to the British newspaper "BBC", Arsenal received seven incorrect decisions in its favor, which is the highest number among all Premier League clubs, making it top the list of beneficiaries from these refereeing errors.

The reports also clarified that the total refereeing errors associated with VAR technology during the season reached 25 errors, compared to only 18 errors last season, which has reopened the debate about the effectiveness and accuracy of using the technology in English football.

These numbers highlight the ongoing controversy surrounding VAR technology, especially with the increasing reliance on it to make crucial decisions within matches, amid repeated calls to review its implementation mechanisms and improve the level of refereeing in the world's strongest league.

It is noteworthy that Arsenal won the Premier League title this season after a fierce competition with Manchester City.
