Liverpool’s German coach Jürgen Klopp demanded a replay of the match against Tottenham last weekend, in which a referee error was decisive in the ‘Reds’ 2-1 defeat.
In that duel, Colombian Luis Díaz opened the scoring but the referee annulled the goal due to the forward’s offside. Video refereeing (VAR) showed that the illegal position did not exist, but the referees did not go back on their decision because the game had already resumed.
The refereeing officials of English football released a statement on Tuesday admitting a “significant human error” that led to the incorrect decision being made and provided the Premier League with a detailed report along with the audio of the conversation between the VAR and the match referee. game.
The audio reveals that the referees in the VAR room initially believe they have made the correct decision and only realize their mistake once the match has resumed.
“The audio does not change anything at all. Obviously it is a manifest error and I think there should be solutions for it. I think the match should be played again,” Klopp claimed this Wednesday at a press conference.
“The argument against (repetition) is that it would create precedents… but it has never happened before,” added the German.
“I am used to wrong and difficult decisions, but something like this has never happened and that is why I think the most correct thing would be a replay” of the match, insisted Klopp, who specified that Liverpool is reviewing all the documentation received before officially requesting or not. the repetition of the meeting.
