Klopp calls for a REPLAY to Liverpool vs Spurs after VAR's 'significant error'

Jurgen Klopp has sensationally called for Liverpool's match with Tottenham to be replayed following VAR's 'significant error in disallowing Luis Diaz's goal for offside

Liverpool's Colombian winger scored but his goal was chalked off for offside due to a monumental mess-up by VAR which saw those at Stockley Park wrongly believe the on-field decision to be 'goal', meaning they said the check was complete, with the player clearly onside.

The Reds officially demanded the recording on Monday and their request was granted on Tuesday afternoon, with referee's body PGMOL making the audio tape public on Tuesday night - which showed officials knew of their huge mistake immediately but still did not stop the game.

Ahead of Liverpool's Europa League clash with Union SG, Klopp said he believed the match - which finished 2-1 in favour of Tottenham - should be replayed as 'something like this has never happened'.

He said: 'The audio didn't change it at all. I wasn't interested in why things happened. I saw the outcome, I saw a goal, we scored.

'It's important we really deal with it in a proper way. I mean all of the people involved, the referee, linesman, fourth official and VAR - they didn't do it on purpose. Yes it was a mistake, an obvious mistake.

'I think there are solutions for it. I can say immediately, even though some people wouldn't want me to say, not as a Liverpool manager, but as a football person, the only outcome should be a replay.'

The VAR operator is heard to say after play wrongly restarted, 'Wait, wait, wait, wait, the on-field decision was 'offside', are you happy with this? That's wrong that, Daz (Darren England, VAR)', to which England sighs and swears, shouting 'Oh f***'.
