VAR referee Darren England failed to award Luis Diaz a goal in Liverpool’s clash against Tottenham.

Following Liverpool’s 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, the PGMOL released the VAR audio. Jurgen Klopp responded right away.

When the game went scoreless last weekend in north London, Luis Diaz’s goal was incorrectly disallowed.

Despite Diaz being in a legal position, winger was flagged for offside, and VAR referee Darren England did not overturn the call.

England can be heard telling the on-field referee Simon Hooper that the check was complete and that everything was “perfect” after they believed the Colombian international had been given onside.

England is then heard swearing when realising that a mistake was made – but admitted he could not intervene after the match restarted.

Although he expressed sympathy for the officials involved, Klopp claims that the audio didn’t affect his opinion and believes that a replay should be shown.

The audio didn’t change anything at all, according to Klopp, who was speaking before of Liverpool’s Europa League matchup against Royal Unions Saint-Gilloise tomorrow.

Since I knew the conclusion and that the goal we scored was meaningless, I wasn’t waiting for the audio because I wasn’t very interested in how things played out.

It’s crucial to note that, at least for us, we handle football in a responsible manner, despite how huge and significant the sport is. That wasn’t done on purpose by the on-field referee, linesman, fourth official, or VAR.

Yes, that was a clear error, and I believe there may have been a fix. Speaking more as a football enthusiast than as the manager of Liverpool, I believe there should be a rematch. Most likely, it won’t take place.

The counterargument is that everyone will ask for it if we open that gate. A rerun, in my opinion, would be the best course of action because it is so unheard of that I question why it hasn’t happened before.

“If it occurs again, watch the replay or get the coaches together and apologize for the error. We can fix it. If Liverpool scores, we can move forward.

We gave up after two minutes, which added to how unique this was and how everything is interconnected.

It would have been different if the game had begun in the center and in other ways as well.

“I have no ill will against any of them. Not only should we not pursue them, but it’s also out of respect.

They messed up, and I’m sure they felt awful that night. I’m not upset; my preparation for a crucial match versus Royal Union Saint-Gilloise is far more crucial.

PGMOL release audio of VAR mistake in Liverpool defeat at Tottenham

Referees’ body accepted Liverpool’s request to release audio publicly after Luis Díaz’s goal wrongly disallowed

The Professional Game Match Officials (PGMOL) have released the VAR audio from Luis Dáz’s incorrectly disallowed goal for Liverpool against Tottenham.

The audio shows that the replay operator was the first to notice the embarrassing mistake and request that the game be stopped.

After conducting an internal investigation into the embarrassing incident, the PGMOL announced on Monday that it and the English Football Association would review the rule allowing officials to preside over games outside of Fifa and Uefa appointments.

This was done in response to the revelation that the assistant VAR and the VAR, Darren England and Dan Cook, presided over a game in the United Arab Emirates 48 hours prior.

The PGMOL played down suggestions of mental fatigue, adamant the trip was comparable with refereeing a midweek Champions League or Europa League tie.

 

Liverpool were left seething over the incident, the latest embarrassing episode for PGMOL and its implementation of VAR technology.

After a quick VAR check, the goal was ruled out for offside and the match restarted, but replays clearly showed the Tottenham defender Cristian Romero played Díaz onsid2e.
