chalked off Luiz Diaz&#8217;s disallowed goal.<\/p>\n<p>The report was sent to the Premier League but not disclosed to the public, with England bearing the brunt of the blame while his Video Assistant Referee (VAR) assistant Dan Cook was also criticised for a lack of basic communication.<\/p>\n<p>The referee&#8217;s body said in its review seen by Mail Sport that the error came from &#8216;a critical lapse in concentration and clear lack of focus\u2026 by an individual match official which saw him inexplicably &#8216;check completing&#8217;
