Buffon bemoans 'ugly' VAR trial

MILAN - Juventus and Italy goalkeeping great Gianluigi Buffon has slammed the "misuse" of the video assistant referee (VAR), saying it makes Serie A "ugly".

The system is being used in Italy's top flight for the first time this season ahead of its World Cup debut in Russia next year.

However, mistakes have been made, and Buffon, along with Roma midfielder Diego Perotti, is among its biggest critics.
