Liverpool were dealt a major blow on Saturday evening after seeing Luis Diaz's goal incorrectly ruled out against Tottenham Hotspur
Liverpool's hopes of replaying last weekend's Premier League match with Tottenham Hotspur may have been strengthened by Howard Webb approving such a situation during his time working in America.
During his time in the United States, Webb was forced to issue an apology and replay a league fixture after a costly error was made during the 90 minutes of play. Indeed, a USL Championship contest between Miami FC and Pittsburgh Riverhounds in October 2021 ended 0-0, though the latter were denied what was a legitimate goal.
The match officials incorrectly applied the rule relating to free-kick scenarios, leaving Pittsburgh coach Bob Lilley frustrated. "[The referees] said it was the first pass, but it wasn't, clearly," he said. "We've seen it, [Miami coach] Paul Dalglish has seen it, and even he said it was a goal. It was a perfectly good goal."
