Klopp SLAMS PGMOL statement that admits Luis Diaz's goal should have stood

Jurgen Klopp has slammed the PGMOL's statement as they admitted that Luis Diaz's goal against Tottenham should have stood rather than being ruled out for offside.

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.

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.

Replays showed that the decision was the wrong one, with PGMOL coming out after the match to issue a statement to acknowledge 'significant human error' in the decision.

Speaking after the match, Klopp slammed the statement as he said: 'Who does that help? We had it in the Man United game. Did Wolves get points for it? We won't.

'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?'

The 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.

On that ocassion, 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.

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.

'It changed the momentum,' Klopp continued.

'In a game where you don't get a lot, that's super important. It was super difficult.'

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
