The mix-up between the officials can now be heard in full.
Referees’ governing body PGMOL have at last released the audio from Saturday’s VAR blunder that saw Liverpool have a goal wrongly disallowed for offside in their 2-1 defeat toHowever, the Colombian’s celebrations were cut short by the linesman’s flag and after a very quick VAR check play restarted with a free-kick to Spurs – who went on to win the match 2-1 thanks to a late own goal from Joel Matip.
It very quickly became apparent that a mistake had occurred with replays clearly showing that Diaz was in an onside position when Salah released the ball, with PGMOL confirming after the match that a ‘significant human error’ had taken place., so when he said ‘check complete’ he was confirming that Diaz was onside – but the on-pitch officiating team took that to mean that their original call of offside was correct.
PGMOL gave Liverpool access to the VAR audio on Tuesday afternoon and have now released the clip to the public, with the audio revealing how the blunder occurred.Replay Operator: So, here we are. Just get a tight angle.Replay Operator: Yep, OK. So 2D line on the boot.Replay Operator: On-field decision was offside. Are you happy with this image? Yeah it’s onside. The image that we gave them was onside.Replay Operator: Delay the game, delay the game. Stop the game.
