Jurgen Klopp has called for Liverpool’s match against Tottenham to be replayed after the VAR failed to award Luis Diaz’s goal which was ruled out for offside.
Sky Sports News understands the Premier League’s stance remains unchanged – that a replay would not be considered.
Klopp said: “It’s really important that as big as football is and important as football is we deal with it in a proper way.
“All the people involved, the on-field referee, linesman, fourth official and especially in this case VAR, didn’t do that on purpose. It was an obvious mistake and I think there would have been solutions for it afterwards.
“Some people probably don’t want me to say, but not as the manager of Liverpool so much, more as a football person, the only outcome should be a replay. That’s how it is. It probably will not happen.”
Diaz was flagged offside after scoring but replays showed he was actually onside although Darren England, the VAR, mistakenly believed the on-field decision had been to award the goal, leading him to tell Simon Hooper, the referee, that the check was complete.
