Uefa's top referees chief has urged officials to use pitch-side monitors instead of relying on VAR for big decisions as the Premier League endured another huge day of controversy.
Roberto Rosetti wants to see his officials in the Champions League make the decisions and not 'a man in another place or city'.
The Italian also admitted VARs must improve on selecting which camera angles to review following the huge error at St James' Park when Fabian Schar's handball was missed in the build-up to his equaliser for Newcastle against Watford only for broadcasters to spot the mistake later.
Premier League referees are encouraged not to use the monitors in an attempt to avoid even more tedious delays although it has led to key incidents being missed such as Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans' lunging tackle on Callum Wilson.
'We think referees must be at the centre of the decision-making process - not the VAR,' Rosetti told the Mail on Sunday.
'I was a referee for 27 years. I want to be the person in charge of what happens on the field. That means I want to see what happened with my own eyes and then I can continue the match. I can explain to the players what has happened and I want to be at the centre of the decision. I want to see the referees take the decision.
'I understand we need to work to improve and reduce the time of reviews but the priority is for accuracy of decisions. I prefer a referee to watch the situation with his own eyes instead of by a man who we don't know where he is, maybe in another place or another city!'
