THE PREMIER LEAGUE are set to release the audio from the VAR decision to disallow Luis Diaz’s goal.

Liverpool’s pressure on the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) has prompted the decision to be made.

According to The Times, the PGMOL intend to make the audio available once their review into the incident is complete.

The decision comes after the Reds formally requested to be given the audio from the VAR room at Stockley Park.

Jurgen Klopp’s side were left aggrieved after Diaz’s strike was wrongly ruled out for offside against Tottenham on Saturday.

VAR Darren England and his assistant Dan Cook mistakenly thought the goal had been awarded and told referee Simon Hooper to stick with his on-field decision.

Spurs quickly restarted the match, with VAR protocols preventing the error from being corrected.

However, senior refereeing officials are understood to believe the VAR pairing should have intervened immediately.

Following the match, the PGMOL released a statement putting the mistake down to “significant human error”, with Howard Webb contacting Liverpool to apologise.

The Reds went on to lose the match 2-1 after a stoppage time own goal from Joel Matip and red cards for Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota.

Liverpool are also expected to appeal Jones’ red card, which was upgraded from a yellow by VAR for a dangerous tackle on Yves Bissouma.

They will not be able to get the match replayed, though, with the Premier League not even considering any such requests.
