Tottenham midfielder James Maddison has heavily criticized Premier League referees. He believes the VAR system has made officials afraid to make independent decisions on the pitch. This is reported by Goal.com reporting .
In the final minutes of the match against Leeds United, which ended in a 1-1 draw, Maddison went down inside the opponent's penalty area. Referee Jarred Gillett ruled no penalty, and VAR confirmed the decision. Maddison insisted the defender did not touch the ball and stated that referees are avoiding responsibility due to VAR.
