VAR has been under renewed scrutiny this week after West Ham United’s ​late equaliser against Premier League leaders Arsenal was ​disallowed, a decision that could prove crucial in ⁠the title race.

“The only thing we can do is ​do it (perform) better, that is only in your control,” Guardiola ​told reporters ahead of Wednesday’s home game against Crystal Palace.

“We lost the two finals of the FA Cup because the referees didn’t ​do their jobs as they should have, even the VAR. ​When this happens, it is because we have to do better, not ‌the ⁠referees or VAR.

“I never trust anything since I arrived (at City) a long time ago. I learned you have to do it better, be in a position to do ​it better because (if ​not) you ⁠blame yourself for what you have to do, because (VAR) is a flip of a ​coin.”

City trail Arsenal by five points but have ​played ⁠one game fewer than the London side.

“We play in this game, we go to Bournemouth and the last game is at ⁠Aston ​Villa. The important one is tomorrow ​, and we will see what happens in the next games,“ Guardiola said.
