Klopp Calls For Spurs vs Liverpool Replay Amid VAR Error

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has demanded a replay of the weekend’s loss to Spurs, over the wrongful annulment of Luiz Daiz’s goal.

Although Klopp admitted that the possibility of this happening is very slim, the manager insisted a replay would be the only right thing to do, seeing how the disallowed goal affected his side’s intensity.

“All the people involved – on-field ref, linesman, fourth official and especially now in this case VAR – they didn’t do that on purpose. We shouldn’t forget that. It was an obvious mistake and I think there would have been solutions for it afterwards” the German international said.

He continued: “If not, I can say immediately, and probably some people don’t want me to say it, not as the manager of Liverpool but much more as a football person, I think the only outcome should be a replay. That’s how it is. It probably will not happen. The argument against that will probably be if you open that gate then everybody will ask for it. I think the situation is so unprecedented that a replay would be the right thing.

“In this specific game, what makes it a bit more special is that we conceded two minutes after we scored a regular goal. How all things depend on each other, if the other goal would have counted we would have started in the centre of the pitch and not where it started. It would have been different. That’s my view on it,” Jurgen Klopp said.
