The referees' body has admitted that Diaz's goal against Spurs should have stood - so what happened?
Shortly after the match finished, PGMOL, the body responsible for match officials across the English professional game, said that a “significant human error” had occurred, VAR had failed to intervene with the decision and the goal should have been awarded.
There are four scenarios when the VAR can recommend that the on-field referee reconsiders a decision: the awarding of a goal; the awarding of a penalty; a case of mistaken identity; and a direct red card — but crucially“PGMOL acknowledge a significant human error occurred during the first half of Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool.“The goal by Luiz Díaz was disallowed for offside by the on-field team of match officials.
“PGMOL will conduct a full review into the circumstances which led to the error. PGMOL will be immediately contacting Liverpool at the conclusion of the fixture to acknowledge the error.”“Who does that help now? We won’t get points for it, it won’t help,” the Liverpool manager said. “Nobody expects 100 per cent right decisions but we thought when VAR came in it might make things easier.
