In the wake of a controversial VAR decision that cost Liverpool a crucial goal in their 2-1 defeat to Tottenham on Saturday, the match officials responsible have been removed from duty for the remainder of the Premier League weekend.
Referees’ body, the PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited), admitted a “significant human error” occurred when VAR failed to award Luis Diaz’s strike, flagged offside, during a VAR review with the game level at 0-0.
