During the Carabao Cup semi-final, referee Stuart Attwell made history by announcing a VAR decision regarding an offside goal, marking a first in England.
The decision by the referee to announce VAR findings publicly is part of a trial for the League Cup semi-finals, aimed at increasing transparency.
Referees will explain decisions on offside and handball situations based on VAR reviews, enhancing communication and following practices seen in rugby and American sports.
The Premier League had previously discussed implementing in-game VAR announcements, indicating a shift towards clearer officiating within football matches this season.
