Tottenham 2-1 Liverpool: VAR believed Luis Diaz goal had been ruled onside

The organization responsible for officiating Premier League matches, PGMOL, has acknowledged a major mistake in ruling out Luis Diaz’s goal for Liverpool against Tottenham. This error was due to human error, as the VAR team incorrectly believed that the on-field decision was to award the goal. Following this incident, VAR Darren England and assistant VAR Dan Cook have withdrawn from their upcoming matches.

Luis Diaz’s goal for Liverpool at Tottenham was wrongly disallowed due to a VAR error.

There was a mistake in a football match where Tottenham won 2-1. The officials admitted that they made an error by wrongly disallowing a goal. They said it was a clear mistake that should have been corrected by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).

VAR Darren England was accused of not checking if a Tottenham defender had kept Diaz onside by using the on-screen lines.

There was a mistake with the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). They mistakenly believed that a goal had been given, but that was not the case.

England thought Diaz was onside, but the goal was ruled out because the message of ‘check complete’ was given.

The time between Diaz’s goal and the restart of the game was very short, less than 40 seconds. Similarly, the time between viewers being notified about a VAR review and the completion of the review was also short, less than 10 seconds.

The score at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was 0-0 at the time, with Liverpool down to 10 players after Curtis Jones’ red card.

In the match against Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur scored the first goal through Heung-Min Son, just two minutes after the game started. However, Joel Matip’s own goal in injury time gave Tottenham a 2-1 victory.

England and Dan Cook, the assistant VAR for the Tottenham vs Liverpool match, will not be officiating their next matches as confirmed by PGMOL on Sunday morning.

England was supposed to be part of the officiating team at the City Ground on Sunday for Nottingham Forest’s game against Brentford, but he has been replaced by Craig Pawson.

Cook was originally slated to participate in the match between Fulham and Chelsea, but he has been replaced by Eddie Smart.
