PGMOL chief reveals how referees will avoid Luis Diaz blunder in the future
PGMOL chief refereeing officer Howard Webb has outlined the steps Premier League referees have taken to avoid a blunder similar to Luis Diaz's disallowed goal at Tottenham in the future. Diaz's clearly-onside effort in north London was chalked off due to a VAR blunder . Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp called for a replay while his club questioned the "sporting integrity" of the 2-1 defeat due to the mishap. PGMOL said the failure to award the goal was down to "significant human error" and the released audio confirmed an embarrassing communication breakdown between on-field referee Simon Hooper, VAR Darren England and AVAR Dan Cook. The game was goalless at the time of Diaz's goal. Curtis Jones had earlier been sent off before Son Heung-min and Cody Gakpo struck before half-time. Diogo Jota was then dismissed for two bookable offences in the second half as Joel Matip scored an own goal to seal the win for Spurs. Webb spoke about incident on Match Official
