Liverpool have issued a response to the PGMOL after the refereeing body admitted to a costly VAR error in the Reds' encounter against Tottenham.
that"a significant human error occurred" when Diaz's strike was ruled out, adding:"This was a clear and obvious factual error and should have resulted in the goal being awarded through VAR intervention."
Indeed, it was initially thought that VAR Darren England had failed to check whether a Tottenham defender had played Diaz onside by drawing the on-screen lines.However the PGMOL claimed that VAR incorrectly thought the on-field decision was that a goal had been awarded, when in fact it had been the opposite.
"This is vital for the reliability of future decision-making as it applies to all clubs with learnings being used to make improvements to processes in order to ensure this kind of situation cannot occur again. "In the meantime, we will explore the range of options available, given the clear need for escalation and resolution."
There was less than 40 seconds between Diaz's shot hitting the back of the net and play being restarted. Furthermore, there was less than 10 seconds between TV viewers being shown a VAR review was taking place and the check being completed.
