<\/p>\nVAR officials were congratulated by unaware referee Simon Hooper after they made the biggest blunder in Premier League history.<\/p>\n
VAR officials Darren England and Dan Cook incorrectly signalled 'check complete' after seeing that Luis Diaz was well onside during Tottenham vs Liverpool on Saturday – after missing that the linesman had raised his flag. The bombshell audio shows how the mistake was made, with ref Hooper thanking their involvement before the chaos began.<\/p>\n
Hooper can be heard saying on the audio: "Well done boys, good process." The replay operator then calls for the VAR duo to pause the fixture – as they insist they cannot do so due to the rules of VAR.<\/p>\n

Spotting the comment, although Hooper wasn't to blame for the mistake while trusting his colleagues, a fan said: "Beyond a shambles."<\/p>\n
A second added: "The comms is all over the place, it\u2019s not clear enough and can imagine if the ref is hearing all that, he\u2019d be all over the place."<\/p>\n
A third posted: "Not the ref\u2019s fault though. He\u2019s reliant on VAR getting it right." A fourth said: "This is insane."<\/p>\n

Before Hooper had congratulated his colleagues, they had said: \u201cAnd stop. Check complete, check complete. That\u2019s fine, perfect.\u201d The replay operator followed up by saying: \u201cWait, wait, wait, wait. The on-field decision was offside. Are you happy with this?"<\/p>\n
Liverpool had called for release of the audio after losing 2-1 at Tottenham with nine men, after being denied a vital opening goal. An updated PGMOL statement was released alongside the audio, which stated: "We recognise standards fell short of expectations and acknowledged the error to Liverpool immediately after the conclusion of the fixture."<\/p>\n
