Your Liverpool FC morning digest focuses on the continuing fallout from the shambolic VAR decision that went against Liverpool at Tottenham Hotspur.

On Thursday night, Liverpool defeated Union Saint-Gilloise 2-0 in the Europa League to get back on the winning track.

However, the effects of their 2-1 Premier League loss against Tottenham Hotspur last week are still being felt.

Prior to this weekend’s domestic games, top-flight managers will be available to the media, but the VAR fiasco that caused the Reds’ perfectly good Luis Diaz goal against Spurs to be overturned continues to grab attention.

And in your Liverpool FC morning digest, we get the thoughts of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on the incident.

Plus, hear from a football finance expert who explains just how costly the decision not to give Diaz’s goal could be.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said Liverpool will have to “accept” the VAR mistake from their defeat against Tottenham Hotspur, but hopes the standards will improve.

The Reds have been at the centre of the controversy regarding the technology after Luis Diaz’s goal was incorrectly ruled out by VAR in their 2-1 loss last Saturday.

A “significant human error” was made at Stockley Park with audio footage from incident illustrating the miscommunication between the on-field referee and those in the VAR hub.

Guardiola, when asked, failed to be drawn on the ongoing conversation surrounding the technology and has said the outcome is “done” as the mistake has to be “accepted.”

A football finance expert has claimed that Liverpool could miss out on £80million if they fail to qualify for the Champions League – with points lost at the weekend potentially crucial.

The Reds were on the wrong end of a VAR mistake against Tottenham Hotspur that saw their opening goal chalked off.

Luis Diaz raced through, firing beyond Guglielmo Vicario, but a miscommunication between the on-field referee and VAR officials at Stockley Park saw the decision of offside stand.

The implications of the defeat as a result of the error will not be felt until the end of the season in May. However, Dr Rob Wilson of Sheffield Business School has said that missing out on the top four could have an £80m impact.

“There’s a discernible difference in prize money for the Premier League’s top two of about £5m or £6m, but Liverpool still would have qualified for the Champions League, and that’s much bigger than finishing 5th,” he told BettingSites.co.uk
