JURGEN KLOPP has called for Tottenham vs Liverpool to be replayed after the VAR fiasco.
The Reds were denied a goal after VAR officials failed to tell referee Simon Hooper to overturn the decision to rule out Luis Diaz’s strike for offside.

The PGMOL have since apologised for the error and released audio detailing what went wrong at Stockley Park.
Klopp felt aggrieved at a number of decisions after the match, which he described as the most unfair he has ever been a part of.
The Reds boss felt neither Curtis Jones nor Diogo Jota deserved to be sent off, with Liverpool appealing Jones’ straight red card.
The FA rejected that appeal but Klopp, speaking ahead of Liverpool’s game against Union Saint-Gilloise, feels the Spurs clash should be replayed.
He said: “The audio didn’t change it at all. I wasn’t interested in why things happened. I saw the outcome, I saw a goal, we scored.
“It’s important we really deal with it in a proper way. I mean all of the people involved, the referee, linesman, fourth official and VAR – they didn’t do it on purpose. Yes it was a mistake, an obvious mistake.
“I say this not as manager of Liverpool but as a football person – I think the only outcome should be a replay. Probably will not happen.”
Several fans have also called for the match to replayed given the magnitude of VAR’s error.

Diaz’s strike would have put the Reds 1-0 up at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – instead they fell behind just two minutes later to Son Heung-min’s goal.
The VAR responsible Darren England and his assistant Dan Cook have both been axed from football fixtures this weekend.
But referee Hooper is in line to be VAR for Bournemouth’s trip to Everton on Saturday.
