PGMOL release VAR audio of offside blunder in Liverpool's defeat at Tottenham

The audio conversation between match officials over the VAR controversy during Liverpool's defeat at Tottenham on Saturday has been released.Luis Diaz was wrongly adjudged to have been in an offside position, after the Colombia international thought he had given his side the lead.Shows VAR only realising on-field decision was offside after the game had restarted, followed by expletives.

"As with all goal situations, the VAR team checked every aspect of the goal. After the on-field officials had disallowed the goal for offside, the checking phase and process started and was carried out correctly by the VAR. "The image created showed that Luis Diaz was clearly onside, without the need for the insertion of a second line. In a lapse of concentration and loss of focus in that moment, the VAR lost sight of the on field decision and he incorrectly communicated 'check complete', therefore inadvertently confirming the on-field decision. He did this without any dialogue with the AVAR [Assistant VAR].

"The VAR team then gave consideration as to whether the game could be stopped at that point, however the VAR and AVAR concluded that the VAR protocol within the Laws of the Game would not permit that to happen, and they decided intervention was not possible as play had restarted."England, in charge of VAR for the game, mistakenly thought the initial on-field decision had been onside.
