PGMOL have admitted 'significant human error' behind Diaz's goal being ruled out; VAR team mistakenly thought on-field decision had been to award goal; Neville and Carragher ask why game wasn't stoppedLuis Diaz's goal for Liverpool at Tottenham was incorrectly disallowed for offside after the VAR mistakenly believed that the on-field decision had been to award the goal.
The PGMOL admitted immediately after Tottenham's 2-1 win that"a significant human error occurred" when Diaz's strike was ruled out and"this was a clear and obvious factual error and should have resulted in the goal being awarded through VAR intervention." It was initially believed that VAR Darren England had failed to check whether a Tottenham defender had played Diaz onside by drawing the on-screen lines.
But, in a remarkable twist, it has now emerged that the VAR incorrectly thought the on-field decision was that a goal had been awarded, when in fact it hadn't been. This resulted in England, despite realising that Diaz was onside, relaying a message of 'check complete' and the goal being ruled out.
