The Red released a statement on their official website calling for "process improvements" to avoid further errors in the future.
Liverpool have rejected PGMOL's explanation for what went wrong in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Tottenham, calling it "unacceptable" in a call for improved refereeing.
The match was characterized by many talking points. From the two red cards to disallowing goals, that summed up the Liverpool and Spurs games. The Red saw two players sent off after Tottenham Hotspur's statement but looked set to hold on for a point until Joel Matip's own goal gave Spurs victory in the second minute, six minutes of extra time.
And after the match, PGMOL admitted Liverpool struggled to make the wrong offside decision in the first half, when Luis Diaz's effort was quickly and incorrectly ruled out by VAR. In a statement posted on its official website, the Anfield club said:
"Liverpool Football Club acknowledges PGMOL's admission of last night's failures. It is clear that the correct application of the rules of the game did not take place, which undermines the integrity of the sport."
“We fully accept the pressures that match officials are under, but these pressures are intended to be reduced, not exacerbated, by the existence and implementation of VAR. "It is therefore unsatisfactory that there was not enough time to make the correct decision and that there was no subsequent intervention.
Such failures have been described as a "serious lapse in nature." human" is also unacceptable. "All results must be established entirely by review and with complete transparency. This is important for the credibility of future decision-making as it applies to all club departments, with lessons used to improve processes to ensure this type of situation cannot happen again.
“In the meantime, we will explore a range of available options as demand escalates and resolves clearly.”
