PGMOL admit error regarding disallowed Diaz goal

Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) has admitted ‘significant human error’ after a disallowed Luis Diaz goal during Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat at Tottenham.

Diaz was adjudged to have been offside before scoring during Liverpool’s late loss in north London, with VAR failing to overturn the on-field referee’s decision to disallow the goal.

 

PGMOL – the body responsible for refereeing games in English professional football – have now released a statement admitting error from the VAR officials at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

‘PGMOL acknowledge a significant human error occurred during the first half of Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool,” the statement read.

“The goal by Luis Diaz 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, 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.”

On Diazโ€™s disallowed goal, Jurgen Klopp had said to Sky Sports: โ€œThe offside goal. That is not offside when you see it, they drew their lines wrong.

โ€œThe ball is between Moโ€™s legs, they drew the line wrong and didnโ€™t judge the moment when Mo passed the ball right.

โ€œIt is so tough to deal with it.โ€
