The PGMOL have admitted to a blunder in Liverpool’s loss at Tottenham.
Jurgen Klopp’s side slipped to a late 2-1 defeat during Saturday’s Premier League clash in the capital but were aggrieved at a disallowed Luis Diaz goal.
The Colombian’s potential first-half opener was overruled by referee Simon Hooper and his fellow officials without being sent to VAR for confirmation.
Now, the PGMOL have accepted the mistake in the game where the Reds were also reduced to nine men by Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota’s red cards.
“The PGMOL acknowledge a significant human error occurred during the first half of Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool,” read a statement.
“The goal by Luis Díaz was disallowed for offside by the on-field team of match officials.
“This was a clear and obvious factual error and should have resulted in the goal being awarded through VAR intervention. However, the VAR failed to intervene.
“PGMOL will conduct a full review into the circumstances which led to the error.
“PGMOL will immediately be contacting Liverpool at the conclusion of the fixture to acknowledge the error.”
Klopp admitted post-match that he was perplexed by the decision-making process, which was followed by Cody Gakpo’s equaliser just before half time.
He said: “I don’t think there is anything to say about the offside goal – I knew about it at half-time.
“In the first moment I thought it was clearly onside but you think they have a better view. I am pretty sure whoever made the decision didn’t do it on purpose.
“It didn’t take extremely long to come to the conclusion. That’s a bit strange but someone else has to explain.
“The linesman thought it was worth watching again – that’s why he raised the flag.
“In the good old times, the linesman should have seen it was not offside because we had these situations quite frequently and when you see it back it is pretty clear.”
