Liverpool now have audio of VAR controversy with public release coming soon

The audio of the conversations between the match officials involved in the VAR controversy at Tottenham on Saturday has been supplied to Liverpool.

Liverpool made a formal request to PGMOL for the audio on Monday and asked hear the conversations which took place in full.

The PGMOL have now shared the footage with Liverpool and it is being reviewed by the club.

It is unclear when the audio will be publicly released.

But the PGMOL have not ruled out releasing the audio around the incident before the next edition of Mic'd Up, the organisation's new monthly programme broadcast on Sky Sports that includes previously unheard audio from decisions between on-field officials and the VAR team.

The PGMOL admitted immediately after Tottenham's 2-1 win that "a significant human error occurred" when Diaz's strike was ruled out, adding: "This was a clear and obvious factual error and should have resulted in the goal being awarded through VAR intervention."

The goal was ruled out when VAR official Darren England mistakenly believed Diaz's goal was initially allowed to stand and told on-field referee Simon Hooper his check was complete.

Both England and his assistant VAR, Dan Cook, have been removed from matchday duties for this week.

In a statement released on Sunday night, Liverpool said "it is clear that the correct application of the laws of the game did not occur, resulting in sporting integrity being undermined".

The club added: "It is therefore unsatisfactory that sufficient time was not afforded to allow the correct decision to be made and that there was no subsequent intervention.

"In the meantime, we will explore the range of options available, given the clear need for escalation and resolution."

It is thought that the VAR team realised
