Meanwhile, referees Darren England and Dan Cook, the VAR officials who made the error, have been stood down from duty for a second round of Premier League fixtures.<\/p>\n
VAR lead England and VAR assistant Cook failed to overturn Luis Diaz\u2019s wrongly disallowed goal in Liverpool\u2019s 2-1 defeat, after not realising that on-field referee Simon Hooper and his assistant officials had initially ruled the goal out for offside.<\/p>\n
England and Cook were subsequently replaced from Sunday\u2019s match between Nottingham Forest and Brentford and the game between Chelsea and Fulham on Monday night, and neither official was issued a Premier League fixture ahead of this weekend.<\/p>\n
Referee Hooper will be the lead VAR for Everton\u2019s match against Bournemouth this Saturday, after he served as the fourth official for Chelsea\u2019s victory over Fulham in Monday\u2019s west London derby.<\/p>\n

The referees\u2019 body PGMOL admitted after Liverpool\u2019s controversial defeat at Spurs that a \u201csignificant human error\u201d had been made and referees\u2019 chief Webb spoke to Liverpool after the match and offered an apology.<\/p>\n
It later emerged that England and Cook had taken charge of a match in the United Arab Emirates in midweek and had only made the six-hour return flight back to London the day before Liverpool\u2019s match at Tottenham.<\/p>\n
