VAR officials who missed 'onside' goal are replaced
The Independent|October 02, 2023
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. Darren England and assistant Dan Cook were replaced for yesterday afternoon’s match between Nottingham Forest and Brentford as well as tonight’s game between Fulham and Chelsea.

VAR officials who missed 'onside' goal are replaced

The video assistant referee team failed to overturn Luis Diaz’s disallowed goal, despite the Liverpool forward clearly 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.

It has been revealed that Diaz’s goal was incorrectly ruled out for offside because the VAR team checking the decision mistakenly thought that the on-field decision was onside. It has emerged that VAR lead official England drew the lines to check for offside and followed the process correctly to determine Diaz was onside for the goal.
