<\/p>\n
Jurgen Klopp believes Saturday\u2019s Premier League clash between Tottenham and Liverpool should be replayed after the PGMOL admitted a \u2018significant error\u2019 was made in disallowing Luis Diaz\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n
Diaz saw his first-half effort ruled out for offside despite replays showing he was being kept on by Spurs defender Cristian Romero. Tottenham went onto win the match 2-1 in injury time with Liverpool also reduced to nine men. <\/p>\n
Shortly after full-time, the PGMOL [Professional Game Match Officials Limited] released a statement confirming the goal should have stood after a \u2018significant human error\u2019 in the VAR room. <\/p>\n
The refereeing body released audio from the VAR decision on Tuesday night, with the clip revealing how the blunder occurred \u2013 and the panic and dismay that arose when they realised the mistake.<\/p>\n
VAR officials Darren England and Dan Cook incorrectly relayed a \u2018check complete\u2019 message to on-field referee Simon Hooper. Both officials have been taken off the upcoming weekend\u2019s fixture list after an official apology from PGMOL. <\/p>\n
While he accepted it was an \u2018honest mistake\u2019 from the officials involved, Klopp believes Saturday\u2019s game should be replayed.<\/p>\n
The Liverpool boss also suggested both he and Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou should have been immediately consulted to discuss \u2018solutions\u2019 \u2013 including Spurs allowing his side to score a goal unchallenged to make up for the error. <\/p>\n
Klopp told a press conference: \u2018The audio didn\u2019t change it at all. I was not interested in why it happened because I knew, I saw the outcome, I saw the goal we scored and it didn\u2019t count. <\/p>\n
\u2018I wasn\u2019t sitting there waiting. What i want to say is, as big as football is for us, that we deal with it in the proper way. <\/p>\n
\u2018That all people involved, referees, linesman, fourth officials and especially VAR, they didn\u2019t do that on purpose and we should not forget that. It was an obvious mistake and I think there would have been solutions after it. <\/p>\n
\u2018But as a football person I think the only outcome should be a replay, that is how it is. It probably won\u2019t happen. <\/p>\n
\u2018The argument is if we open that gate, it is so unprecedented. I am 56 years old, I am used to wrong decisions, all these kind of things. But something like that never happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it would happen again then I think the replay would be the right thing to do, or the ref has the opportunity to bring both coaches together and say \u201csorry we made a mistake but we can sort it, let Liverpool score a goal and we start from there\u201d. <\/p>\n
He continued: \u2018I\u2019m not angry with anybody, not at all and I really think for human beings you should not go for them, it\u2019s not allowed to go for them. <\/p>\n
\u2018They made a mistake, they felt horrible that night, I am 100 per cent sure. That\u2019s enough for me, nobody needs further punishment. I think we should discuss it on a completely normal basis, without emotions.\u2019<\/p>\n
