Liverpool Ask Premier League Body For VAR Audio From Disallowed Goal Against Tottenham

Liverpool have asked PGMOL for audio of discussions between the match officials in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Tottenham.

The video assistant referee (VAR) did not overturn an incorrect decision to disallow a Luis Diaz goal for offside.

PGMOL, the governing body for referees, said the decision to rule out the goal was “a significant human error”.

On Sunday, Liverpool released a statement saying the explanation was “unacceptable” and that “sporting integrity has been undermined”.

The club called for a “review with full transparency” and added they will “explore the range of options available given the clear need for escalation and resolution”.

Darren England, who was on VAR duty during the game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and assistant VAR Dan Cook were stood down from duty for the rest of the weekend because of the error.
