    Jurgen Klopp was left furious at PGMOL\u2019s apology after their VAR disasterclass during Liverpool\u2019s 2-1 defeat at Tottenham.<\/p>\n

    Klopp\u2019s Reds were reduced to 10 men in the 27th minute after referee Simon Hooper reviewed Curtis Jones\u2019 tackle and controversially changed his decision from a yellow to a straight red card. Things went from bad to worse as Liverpool forward Diogo Jota was shown two yellows, both of which could be deemed harsh, in quick succession while the game was tied at 1-1.<\/p>\n

    But the most contentious decision was the incorrect chalking off of Luis Diaz\u2019s first-half goal to put the Reds 1-0 up. Diaz was in fact on-side, but VAR official Darren England had mistakenly thought that Hooper\u2019s on-field decision was to disallow the goal.<\/p>\n

    It has been suggested that England clearly saw Diaz was onside and told Hooper \u201ccheck complete,\u201d believing he was awarding the Colombian forward his goal. PGMOL owned up to their mistake by citing a \u201csignificant human error\u201d.<\/p>\n

    But Klopp had no time for the PGMOL\u2019s apology as his side missed out on crucial points, having been level until the 96th minute, when Joel Matip\u2019s attempted clearance found the back of his own net.<\/p>\n

    Klopp fumed after the game: \u201cWhen we saw it, we thought \u2018that\u2019s not offside\u2019. They drew the lines wrong. It is so tough to deal with it. I\u2019m now relatively calm, and during the game we were really calm. Your heart rate is 160-180\u2026 and you see that, and the red card and the next red card. It\u2019s difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The German added: \u201cHow can Jota in this game go off the pitch with two yellow cards, the first he barely touched him and for sure not his fault. That is what is the problem. We have so many things. When did you last hear a game with 11 v 9? And we were close to 11v 8! There were no horrible fouls.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe were not kicking players or whatever. The boys made a super intense game of it, it is crazy how hard we fought. In the end we got nothing. The result is gone but the performance will stay with me forever. I loved our attitude and our desire.\u201d<\/p>\n

    And the 56-year-old was left exasperated at yet another VAR apology in the Premier League, saying: \u201cWho does that help? We had that situation in the Man Utd game. Did Wolves get the points for it? We won\u2019t get the points for it. <\/p>\n

    \u201cWe all thought that when VAR came in it would make things easier. I never saw a game like this with the most unfair circumstances, crazy decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The PGMOL apologised to Wolves back in August after Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana wiped out Sasa Kalajdzic late in the game. In stunning scenes, VAR Michael Salisbury did not deem Hooper\u2019s decision a clear and obvious error, meaning Wolves weren\u2019t awarded a penalty and went on to lose 1-0.<\/p>\n
