NORWICH manager Johannes Hoff Thorup supported calls for the introduction of VAR in the Championship – even though he benefited from two major refereeing errors in his team’s win at Derby.

RAMS LEFT FUMING OVER SAINZ STRIKES

A hat-trick from Borja Sainz featured two goals in which the ball clearly went out of play in the build-up, although losing manager Paul Warne insisted he is still against the unpopular video replay system.

But Thorup was honest enough to concede that he thinks the second tier of English football should use it.

“I think we need VAR,” said Hoff Thorup. “The best league over here has it, and I know there is a lot of discussion every week over here over decisions.

“But there will always be mistakes and I will not sit here and blame the referees, Saturday after Saturday.

“We just have to make sure we support them, whether video systems or other ideas, that’s the way to support these guys.”
