In a shocking turn of events, audio recordings of the discussions among match officials during the disallowed goal controversy in the Tottenham vs. Liverpool match have been made public. Liverpool requested the Premier League for the audio following their 2-1 defeat, where Luis Diaz’s goal was wrongly flagged offside.
The released audio exposes the moment when VAR referee Darren England, initially confident in the correctness of the decision, realises a mistake has been made, uttering an expletive. The governing body for referees, PGMOL, attributed the error to a “lapse of concentration and loss of focus.”
