The referees’ governing body in England admitted a ‘significant human error’ after Luis Díaz had a goal ruled offside in Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat at Tottenham. After the match, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp said ‘I don’t understand why the people in VAR are that much under pressure. Today the decision was made really quick, I would say, for that goal.’ Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou however was more forgiving, saying ‘I think that people are under the misconception that VAR is going to be errorless … it’s down to interpretation and they’re still human beings. They’re going to make mistakes’.
