The VAR audio from Luis Diaz's wrongly disallowed goal for Liverpool against Tottenham has been released
Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher believes VAR could have asked a simple question to prevent the error of not awarding Liverpool a goal.
Diaz was flagged offside after scoring, but replays showed he was actually onside. But Darren England, the VAR, mistakenly believed the on-field decision had been to award the goal, leading him to tell Simon Hooper, the referee, that the check was complete. Reacting to the release of the recordings on Sky Sports News, Gallagher believes the failure to ask what the on-field decision was was the reason behind the cock-up."It's now about the process, and one of the processes is they will have to undertake from now is the VAR will have to ask the referee: 'What is the on-field decision?'
