Referee's Error Denies Diaz's Goal, PGMOL Apologizes

In a contentious turn of events, Liverpool's Diaz saw his first-half goal disallowed against Tottenham. The linesman raised the offside flag, but television replays painted a different picture, suggesting that Diaz was onside.

Post-match, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) acknowledged a "significant human error" and conceded that VAR should have intervened to award the goal. Referee Howard Webb issued a formal apology to Liverpool for the oversight. As a consequence, the VAR team responsible for Saturday's match against Tottenham has been relieved of their duties.
