"We are learning as we go along and we are constantly improving." Riley told Sky Sports.
"Out of the four match rounds, there have been some really good examples where we have intervened. There have been six incidents where VAR has advised the referee and we have got a better decision as a result.
"There were four incidents where VAR didn't intervene and had they done, we would have a better understanding of the role VAR plays in the game. [The mistakes] are all about the judgement of VAR and the process that we adopt.
"These are examples where VAR could have had a benefit and intervened to help the referee on the day." he added.
