Luis Diaz Offside in Liverpool vs Tottenham "Significant Error", PGMOL Says

The Premier League's Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) approved the validity of the goal scored by Liverpool winger Luis Diaz against Tottenham.

Tottenham defeated Liverpool 2-1 in the 7th round of the English Premier League. A goal by Diaz was canceled after a magic pass from Mo Salah, due to offside by a decision from the flag referee.

The PGMOL committee admitted in an official statement that a human error had occurred during the first half of the Tottenham Hotspur match against Liverpool by not awarding a valid goal to Luis Diaz.

It added: "Luis Diaz's goal was ruled out for offside by the match referees. This was a clear and factual error and the goal was supposed to be awarded through VAR intervention. However, VAR failed to intervene."

The statement continued: “The PGMOL Committee will conduct a full review of the circumstances that led to this human error, and will immediately contact Liverpool to acknowledge the error.”
