“We evaluated the situation from the game between Tottenham and Liverpool and told ourselves what we need to do better next time,” said Webb. “In the following days, we worked hard to put in place such insurance measures so that something like this does not happen again,” he added.
The incident occurred in the 34th minute when Luis Díaz opened the scoring of the match. The referee disallowed the goal due to a waved offside, although a video check immediately showed that it was a regular goal. According to Webb, it was human failure and loss of concentration.
Because of this, the PGMOL released a recording of the communication between the referee and the video assistant shortly after the incident. The problem arose because VAR did not notice that the referee on the pitch had blown the whistle for offside. He thought the goal was conceded, so he didn’t intervene.
Webb also explained why the referees could not reverse the play and award the goal. “I understand a lot of people have asked why they didn’t do it. And in the recording you can hear that the referees also dealt with it. However, the rules do not allow such a thing under similar circumstances,” he said.
