Jurgen Klopp has slammed the PGMOL’s statement which admitted that Luis Diaz’s goal against Tottenham should have stood rather than being ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n
Liverpool fell to a 2-1 defeat in London on Saturday as Joel Matip scored a late own goal to give Spurs the win, with both Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones sent off.<\/p>\n
However, they thought they were ahead in the first half as Diaz appeared to beat the offside trap to convert before it was ruled out for offside. A very quick VAR check then followed, with no change to the on-field decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Replays showed that the decision was the wrong one, with PGMOL coming out after the match to issue a statement to acknowledge\u00a0‘significant human error’ in the decision.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the match, Klopp slammed the statement as he said:\u00a0‘Who does that help? We had it in the Man United game. Did Wolves get points for it? We won’t.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Replays showed that the decision was the wrong one, with PGMOL coming out after the match to issue a statement<\/p>\n
‘It doesn’t help. Nobody expects 100% right decision on field. We thought VAR might make it easier. Why are they under that much pressure for the decision to be made really quick today?’<\/p>\n
\u00a0The Reds boss was making reference to the previous apology from PGMOL when Wolves fell to a controversial 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
On that occasion, Andre Onana rushed out and took one of the Wolves’ forward line and VAR decided that a penalty would not be awarded in the last minute of the match.<\/p>\n
The German continued to discuss how important the wrong decision was against his side in the match against Tottenham, as he believes it change the entire game.<\/p>\n
‘It changed the momentum,’ Klopp continued.<\/p>\n
‘In a game where you don’t get a lot, that’s super important. It was super difficult.’<\/p>\n
While Klopp was informed of the statement during his post-match press conference, it remains to be seen as to whether Liverpool will be issued an apology direct.<\/p>\n
The statement, which was released shortly after Liverpool fell to defeat, read:\u00a0‘PGMOL acknowledge a significant human error occurred during the first half of Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool,’ the statement began.<\/p>\n
‘The goal by Luis Diaz was disallowed for offside by the on-field team of match officials. This was a clear and obvious factual error and should have resulted in the goal being awarded through VAR intervention, however, the VAR failed to intervene.<\/p>\n
‘PGMOL will conduct a full review into the circumstances which led to the error.<\/p>\n
‘PGMOL will immediately be contacting Liverpool at the conclusion of the fixture to acknowledge the error.’<\/p>\n
The result sees Tottenham climb up to second in the Premier League table, while Liverpool were handed their first defeat of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
