PGMOL chief Webb personally apologises to Liverpool

Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) chief Howard Webb has personally apologised to Liverpool after Saturday's VAR dominated defeat at Tottenham.

Curtis Jones was sent off in the first-half by VAR before minutes later Luis Diaz had a goal denied by the same process.

The Independent says after the match, Webb went to speak to the club, issuing an apology after the Reds' unbeaten start to the Premier League season came to a controversial end.

A statement from PGMOL was later made, declaring: "PGMOL acknowledge a significant human error occurred during the first half of Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool.

"The goal by Luis Diaz was disallowed for offside by the on-field team of match officials. This was a clear and obvious factual error and should have resulted in the goal being awarded through VAR intervention, however, the VAR failed to intervene.

"PGMOL will conduct a full review into the circumstances which led to the error. PGMOL will immediately be contacting Liverpool at the conclusion of the fixture to acknowledge the error."
