PGMOL numbers
According to the PGMOL, 75 decisions have been overturned from approximately 1,600 checks - which include reviews not signalled on the big screen.
The average length of time for an overturned decision is 80 seconds.
What's the cost in goals?
How many goals have been chalked off because of VAR? The answer is 39 and another six penalty attempts.
But VAR has also awarded nine goals that were initially ruled out and issued another 12 spot-kicks after the on-field referee had waved play on.
So VAR's net cost in goals from open play is 30 to date but it has awarded six extra penalties - after deducting the penalty attempts scrubbed off.

A YouGov poll revealed fans in the North-West are most dissatisfied with VAR. Manchester United supporters compose a large cohort in that region but Ole Gunnar's Solskjaer's side have actually benefitted most from the technology.
When factoring goals or penalty attempts gained and lost with VAR intervention, United have gained three penalties - while Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Newcastle and Watford have gained one goal or spot-kick.
All of the 15 remaining clubs have suffered losses, with Sheffield United affected most with a deficit of five goals or spot-kicks.

Seven players have a surplus of goals because of VAR, with Connor Wickham, Dan Gosling, Glenn Murray, Jonjo Shelvey, Jordan Ayew, Kelechi Iheanacho and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang each claiming a goal after VAR overruled the on-field referee.
