Jurgen Klopp on Weduesday demanded that Liverpool’s defeat at Tottenham be replayed, saying it would be the ‘right thing’ to do after an incredible VAR howler denied the Reds a goal.
Luis Diaz’s strike was disallowed by VAR Darren England, who wrongly believed the on-field decision had been a goal, so said ‘check complete’ once he ascertained that the Colombia winger was onside. Instead of a goal being awarded, the match resumed with a free-kick to Spurs. Referees’ chiefs later admitted to a ‘significant human error’.
‘The audio didn’t change things at all,’ Klopp said of the VAR tape which was made public on Tuesday.
