itemprop=description content=Tottenham’s win over Liverpool was mired in controversy after Luis Diaz had a 34th-minute strike ruled out for offside.
Ange Postecoglou has defended referee Darren England after his part in the VAR controversy in Tottenham’s 2-1 win over Liverpool
The incident was reviewed but VAR operator England mistakenly believed the on-field decision had been to award the goal and, after establishing Diaz had been onside, England told referee Simon Hooper “check complete” before Tottenham resumed the game with the score 0-0. “You kind of look at why it’s not given because that’s the first thing you question: obviously something has broken down.
The fallout from the incident has seen referee England reportedly told he will not officiate another Liverpool match this season, but Postecoglou railed against critics of the official. “From my perspective, when I listened to that audio, saying ‘check complete’, someone obviously thought it was a good way of finalising things and it’s worked up until now.
“I hope that’s what they’re addressing, not the individual that made the mistake. I think that’s a dereliction of the game.
