Liverpool suffered a terrible VAR decision in their 2-1 loss to Tottenham.
Following the weekend, the VAR issue for Liverpool is still raging, and it has now been suggested that the judgment may have cost Liverpool up to £80 million.
Due to an oversight by the match officials and VAR team that day, Luis Diaz’s perfectly lawful goal—which would have given Liverpool a 2-1 lead at the time—was disallowed.The PGMOL has expressed regret for that choice, but to make matters worse, they have also said that Diogo Jota should not have been dismissed as well, leaving supporters to speculate about what may have been.A Joel Matip own goal in the 96th minute made it even worse.
Although Klopp stated yesterday that “We’re over it… we are not children” in regard to the match, it is undoubtedly a pivotal moment for not only Liverpool supporters but also for American sport as a whole as the fight for VAR rages on.
Looking at their rivals for the top four and the championship, Tottenham have had a strong start but lack the squad depth of their current rivals, while Manchester City will continue to be the dominant force. However, Ange Postecoglou’s lack of access to European football may actually be a blessing in disguise.
