Premier League clubs have voted 19 to one to keep VAR next season.

The league confirmed there had been a vote in favour of continuing with the technology in 2024-25.

It is understood Wolves - who last month called the vote to scrap VAR - were ultimately the only club to back its abolition.

The Black Country club were understood to be adamant, even the day before the Premier League's annual general meeting in Harrogate on Thursday, that they wanted a vote to take place, even though they anticipated a heavy defeat.
