Everton's top flight status has been preserved for another year allowing Blues supporters to relax over the summer before looking forward to a new season with fresh hope for the future.
But would their eventual 16th-placed outcome have been any different without the use of VAR technology? The boffins at ESPN have taken it upon themselves to log all VAR decisions across the Premier League this season and calculate how the results impacted the outcome of games, in what is the third campaign that the divisive technology has been in use.
ESPN's General Editor Dale Johnson said: "Our calculation is not just about the number of times a team gets a favourable VAR call, or about how many goals are affected. What's more important is when these VAR decisions take place, how they might have changed the course of the match and, crucially, whether that impacted upon the final score line."

So how does all of this affect Everton? Would they have finished higher up the table without VAR or Frank Lampard now be preparing for away matches against the likes of Wigan Athletic and Preston North End? ESPN looked at 120 VAR decisions and have then devised an alternative league table.
The results show that without VAR overturns, the Blues would have finished the season four points BETTER OFF than they did with VAR in operation, making them one of VAR's biggest losers, tied with Arsenal. Only Leicester City fared worse, losing out on an extra six points thanks to the video replay technology.
Without VAR, Everton could have finished seven points clear of the relegation zone, avoiding the unbearable stresses of the last few games of the season. Key overturns impacting the Toffees included a ruled-out spot-kick at home to Tottenham, and a late 'winner' against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The Blues' VAR calculation doesn't take into account perhaps their most controversial moment of the entire season when VAR failed to award Everton a penalty at Goodison Park when Manchester City's Rodri clearly handled the ball in his own penalty area - a match that the eventual champions would win 1-0.
In terms of the other end of the table, Pep Guardiola's side would still have finished top of the tree with 94 points, while neighbours Liverpool would see no change, still finished the campaign in second place on 92.
Regardless of ESPN's findings, the VAR system is here to stay, but Evertonians will be hoping that there won't be any blatant injustices like the Rodri incident again next season.
