# PGMOL Admits Error for Luis Diaz’s Goal Against Tottenham
The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) have admitted an error for Luis Diaz’s goal being incorrectly ruled offside against Tottenham. Diaz was adjudged to be offside in the first half of the game, which Liverpool eventually lost 2-1. But the Liverpool attacker looked to be clearly onside, and with no official lines being drawn to show supporters, the PGMOL have now admitted that the VAR official, Darren England, failed to intervene.
## PGMOL Statement
PGMOL released a statement acknowledging the error:
>PGMOL acknowledge a significant human error occurred during the first half of Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool. The goal by Luiz Diaz was disallowed for offside by the on-field team of match officials. This was a clear and obvious factual error and should have resulted in the goal being awarded through VAR intervention, however, the VAR failed to intervene. PGMOL will conduct a full review into the circumstances which led to the error.
Speaking on Sky Sports post-match, Gary Neville said that the VAR, Darren England, said “check complete” in the referees’ earpiece after the incident. Neville said: “It was all too quick, it wasn’t right.”
## Jurgen Klopp’s Reaction
In his post-match press conference, Jurgen Klopp said: “We won’t get points for it, it won’t help. Nobody expects 100 per cent right decisions but we thought when VAR came in it might make things easier. It changed the momentum of the game.”
