Premier League rule could see Tottenham vs Liverpool replayed after Luis Diaz VAR error

The Premier League could replay Tottenham vs Liverpool if an appointed commission rules the match officials and VAR breached the laws of the game following Luis Diaz's disallowed goal.

Spurs went onto score a winner deep, deep into stoppage time after Joel Matip converted into his own net.

Take a listen to the VAR audio below:

The game, however, was marred by officials ruling out Luis Diaz's legitimate strike in the first-half.

The VAR audio came after Liverpool submitted a formal request to PGMOL to receive the footage as the club said they would "explore the range of options available, given the clear need for escalation and resolution."

Liverpool have not asked for the game to be replayed, but the Premier League's own rules state such a decision is possible.

That's according to sports lawyer Stephen Taylor Heath, who claims Liverpool could end up lobbying for their game against Spurs to be replayed.

"In addition to this, under rule W1, the Premier League’s board has the power to inquire about any suspected breach of rules, including those made by a match official, while rule N4 ensures that each match official agrees to be bound by the laws of the game as well as any protocols and FA rules.

"There is therefore a possibility that Liverpool could lobby the Premier League board to convene a commission which would have the power, among others, to order the match to be replayed.

"To mount a general legal case outside of the Premier League regulations, a starting point would normally have to be to establish a contractual nexus between the club and the officials that has been breached or a duty of care and negligence causing loss."
