30 September 2023 at 20:32 The referees’ association admits a major VAR error: Liverpool cheated on scoring Just before Tottenham scored the first (counting) goal of the game, Liverpool’s Luis Díaz sent the ball into the goal. The goal was canceled for offside, but according to the referees’ association it should never have been. They write that in a statement on Saturday evening, according to the BBC. They write that a significant human error occurred when VAR did not intervene to take a closer look at the situation, and that a goal should have been awarded to Liverpool. On the TV broadcast, the “well-known” VAR lines were never drawn and Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp was clear in an interview with Sky Sports after the game that the TV images showed that Díaz was not in an offside position – in a game that Tottenham eventually won 2-1. For Liverpool, the match got off to a nightmare start when Curtis Jones was sent to the shower after 25 minutes. The midfielder was initially shown a yellow card by referee Simon Hooper, but it was turned into a red card after VAR intervened. Son Heung-min sent Tottenham into the lead ten minutes later, but Cody Gakpo equalized for the visitors in first-half stoppage time. In the same situation, he got hit and Diogo Jota came on for Liverpool in the second half. Halfway through the second half, things got worse for Liverpool when Jota received two yellow cards in less than two minutes. Although Liverpool had to play over 20 minutes and the six additional minutes with nine men, it looked set to be 1-1. But then, five and a half minutes into overtime, the decisive score came when Jöel Matip put a cross into his own net. This was Liverpool’s first league loss of the season, while Tottenham are now one point behind league leader Manchester City and one point ahead of Liverpool.
