(Reuters) - The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) came in for rare praise after Crystal Palace's 1-0 home win over Southampton on Saturday, as Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuettl heaved a sigh of relief after defender Kyle Walker-Peters' red card was rescinded.

Walker-Peters was harshly dismissed for a high challenge on Tyrick Mitchell in the second half but referee Jon Moss changed it to a yellow after reviewing the incident on a pitchside monitor following the intervention of VAR Craig Pawson.
