Arsene Wenger made Arsenal replay game after controversial goal as Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp calls for the same

Arsene Wenger made Arsenal replay game after controversial goal as Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp calls for the same

Arsene Wenger allowed a game to be replayed back in 1999, something with Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool are lobbying for.

Arsene Wenger has already set a precedent with how to respond to calls for replays after controversy during a game.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is demanding that his side's 2-1 defeat to Spurs is replayed after PGMOL met the club's request and released the audio to further highlight the "significant human" error made in relation to Luis Diaz's wrongly disallowed goal on Saturday.

When the linesman raised his flag, the incident was referred to VAR and the lines drew showed Cristian Romero had played Diaz onside.

Incredibly, as the panicked audio shows, officials at Stockley Park believed the on-field call was to give the goal and once play restarted, it was too late to intervene.

VAR officials Darren England and Dan Cook have been stood down for the next round of Premier League games but Klopp told a press conference that "a replay is the right thing to do".

Typically a replay is not afforded unless in extreme cases but in 1999, Arsenal allowed Sheffield United a second game following an FA Cup tie.

The Gunners beat the Yorkshire side 2-1 at Highbury but the winner, scored by Marc Overmars, was tinged with controversy.

The Blades kicked the ball out so an injured player could receive treatment but Nigeria striker Kanu played on from the resulting throw in and passed to Overmars, who slotted home.

The ex Ajax man wasn't aware that there was an injury, it seems, but the visitors were understandably fuming.

It was a similar incident to what happened between Leeds and Aston Villa in the Championship a couple of years ago. Marcelo Bielsa ordered his team to let Villa skipper in a remarkable act of fair play but Wenger's gesture was to offer the game to be replayed.

The FA gave their seal of approval and ten days later, the fifth round clash took place again and finished with the exact same scoreline. Overmars bagged again, as did Dennis Bergkamp.
