Premier League's longest-ever VAR check: Why is it taking so long?

The VAR took six minutes and 14 seconds to confirm a goal for Nottingham Forest at West Ham United .

Nicolás Domínguez was offside in the 61st minute for the visitors.

The delay is the longest ever in the Premier League , surpassing the five minutes and 25 seconds it took to disallow a West Ham goal against Aston Villa in March 2024 for handball by Tomás Soucek .

Chelsea 's penalty spot kick against Manchester United was overturned by the VAR .

Chelsea were awarded a penalty in the 61st minute when Tyrique George went to ground from a challenge by André Onana .

Referee Chris Kavanagh gave a free kick to Manchester United for a foul by Fernández on Noussair Mazraoui.

The position of the ball and close proximity of the shot means there should be no chance of a VAR intervention for a spot kick.

There have been only nine handball penalties all season in the Premier League.

Newcastle won a corner two minutes after the allocated five minutes of stoppage time had elapsed.

Dan Burn and Jakub Kiwior were involved in a melee between the players.
