NewsSportsWORLD

Following the VAR debacle that saw Liverpool lose 2-1 to Tottenham at Anfield and the controversy surrounding the match in question.

Liverpool Manager Jurgen Klopp has now called for a rematch of the English Premier League match after Luis Diaz’s goal was disallowed through an incorrect VAR decision.

This comes two days after the Referees’ body PGMOL released the audio of discussions between the match officials over the offside.

However, despite this Klopp is unsure of whether his calls for a replay would be adhered to.

The German has indicated that it was a mistake and the obvious thing to do is to correct it.

“The audio didn’t change it at all. It is an obvious mistake. There should be solutions for that. The outcome should be a replay. But it probably won’t happen.

“The argument against that would be it opens the gates. It is unprecedented. I’m used to wrong and difficult decisions, but something like this never happened.” said Klopp

“Something like this never happened, so that is why I think a replay is the right thing to do,” he added.

In the audio, England says the check is “perfect” before swearing when he realises a mistake has been made.

England and the assistant VAR Dan Cook were made aware of their mistake by the replay operator when the goal wasn’t awarded.

They repeatedly said they could not intervene as the game had restarted.
