AFC Bournemouth Vitality Stadium

Speaking at the shareholder meeting in London, the Premier League's head referee gave an early-season assessment of the newly introduced VAR technology.

As reported in The Sun, the four decisions that Riley highlighted were:

1. Failure to award a free-kick for Isaac Hayden's handball which led to Newcastle United's qualiser against Watford.

2. Failure to give a red card to Leicester City's Youri Tielemen for his reckless challenge on Bournemouth's Callum Wilson.

3. Failure to award a penalty to Manchester City when Bournemouth's Jefferson Lerma stood on David Silva's foot in the box.

4. Failure to award a penalty to West Ham United when Seb Haller was brought down in the box by Norwich City's Tom Trybull.
