The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) acknowledged that a notable mistake made by the referees resulted in Luis Diaz's goal not being given during a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review, despite being marked offside, while the game was tied at 0-0.
The individual referred to as "VAR official Darren" England was scheduled to serve as the fourth official for the Premier League match between Nottingham Forest and Brentford on Sunday.
Furthermore, the helper of the individual in question, commonly referred to as the Video helper Referee (VAR), is also a crucial component of the team. Dan Cook had been assigned the role of assistant referee for the west London derby between Fulham and Chelsea scheduled for Monday.
The match witnessed a decisive moment in the 96th minute, as Spurs capitalized on Joel Matip's own goal, ultimately securing victory in a highly contentious contest.
Liverpool experienced a numerical disadvantage with the dismissals of Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota, resulting in the team being reduced to nine players, occurring consecutively before and after the halftime interval.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed his astonishment at the unprecedented nature of the game, characterized by very unjust conditions and perplexing judgments.
Howard Webb, the chief of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), expressed his apologies to the Liverpool Football Club, commonly referred to as the Reds, subsequent to the match due to the erroneous decision that resulted in the disallowance of Diaz's goal.
According to a statement issued by the PGMOL, it is asserted that the goal should have been awarded through VAR intervention due to a clear and evident factual error. However, the VAR system failed to interfere in this particular instance.
