Ange PostecoglouTottenham 2-1 LiverpoolFULL Press ConferencePremier League Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou said introduction of Video Assistant Referees in football with the aim of "error-free" refereeing has ultimately led to game becoming more complex. The comments came after the Professional Match Officials confirmed there was a "significant human error" in Tottenham's 2-1 win over Liverpool when Luis Diaz's 34th-minute strike was incorrectly ruled out for offside. Spurs claimed a dramatic three points after Joel Matip turned Pedro Porro's cross into his own net in the sixth minute of stoppage time, continuing the home side's fast start under new Australian coach Ange Postecoglou. Referee Simon Hooper sent off Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota at half-time, but Liverpool were aggrieved to have Diaz's 34th-minute goal disallowed in the first half. Mohamed Salah played Diaz all way and Colombian headed towards bottom corner but offside flag went up and Darren England's quick VAR check at Stockley Park concluded Liverpool attacker was offside. Still footage of incident showed Cristian Romero playing Diaz offside and two minutes later Son Heung-min poked the ball in for Spurs to take lead. It is the VAR decision that has every Liverpool fan on their feet. Offside never happened
