Former referees’ chief Keith Hackett has come out in support of VAR’s controversial first outing in the Premier League this weekend, saying he believed it should be extended to the Championship as soon as possible.

Sheffield-based Hackett, now 75, officiated in the top tier of English football for 25 years and has been an outspoken advocate of the system for many years.

VAR was rolled out across all Premier League fixtures for the first time this weekend and delivered its fair share of talking points.
