The VAR officials who failed to intervene when Liverpool had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside in their defeat to Tottenham have been stood down from the rest of this weekend’s fixtures.
VAR Darren England and assistant Dan Cook have been replaced for this afternoon’s match between Nottingham Forest and Brentford as well as Monday night’s game between Fulham and Chelsea.
The VAR team did not overturn Diaz’s disallowed goal, despite the Liverpool forward being onside, while the referees’ body admitted after the match that a “significant human error” had been made.
Howard Webb also spoke to Liverpool after the match and there was an apology from the referees’ chief.
