Luis Diaz’s strike was disallowed by VAR Darren England, who wrongly believed the on-field decision had been a goal, so said ‘check complete’ once he ascertained that the Colombia winger was onside. Instead of a goal being awarded, the match resumed with a free-kick to Spurs. Referees’ chiefs later admitted to a ‘significant human error’.

Spurs claimed a hugely controversial 2-1 victory over Liverpool last Saturday after Luis Diaz’s goal in the 34th-minute at 0-0 was incorrectly ruled out for offside, with the Professional Game Match Officials Limited subsequently admitting a “significant human error” had occurred. Postecoglou believes the mistake was a result of the VAR room rushing their decision to prevent a long delay which disrupts the “frenetic pace” of football.

It’s a…

PGMOL has now noted that the fresh guidance will…
