Tottenham and Liverpool faced each other in the 7th week of the Premier League. While the home team won the match 2-1, Luis Diaz’s goal, which was canceled due to offside, put the match ahead. VAR referee, Darren England, left his mark on the match by not canceling the offside flag raised on Diaz’s goal.
Professional Game Match Authors Limited (PGMOL), the board responsible for referees on the island, said in a statement about the mistake made in the match: “Luis Diaz’s disallowed goal in the Tottenham-Liverpool match was clearly and obviously a mistake. The goal should have been awarded with VAR intervention. However, VAR could not intervene.” “PGMOL will conduct a full investigation into the circumstances that led to the error.”
On the other hand, the goals that brought the victory to the home team were scored by Heung-Min Son in the 36th minute and Joel Matip in the 90+6th minute. The only goal of the guest team, which finished the match with 9 players, came from Cody Gakpo in the 45+4th minute.
