Jurgen Klopp insists a statement from the PGMOL admitting Liverpool\u2019s goal against Tottenham was incorrectly ruled out is of \u2018no help\u2019 to his side.<\/p>\n
Liverpool fell to a 2-1 defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with an own goal from Joel Matip deep into injury time sealing victory for the hosts.<\/p>\n
The Reds were reduced to nine men with Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota sent off with Luis Diaz seeing his first-half goal ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n
A VAR review concluded the Colombian international had moved into an offside position despite replays suggesting Cristian Romero was keeping him on.<\/p>\n
Shortly after full-time, a statement from PGMOL confirmed a \u2018significant human error\u2019 had been made in disallowing Diaz\u2019s goal with the referring body set to hold a full review into the circumstances that led to the mistake.<\/p>\n
Klopp was in the middle of his post-match press conference when the PGMOL statement was released.<\/p>\n
\u2018Who does that help now? We had the situation in the Manchester United vs Wolves game. Did they get points for it? It doesn\u2019t help,\u2019 Klopp said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018We will not get points for it so it doesn\u2019t help. Nobody expects 100 per cent right decisions on field but I think we all thought when VAR came in, it might make things easier.<\/p>\n
\u2018I don\u2019t know why people in VAR are under that much pressure, they made that decision really quickly for that goal.<\/p>\n
\u2018It changes the momentum of the game and that is how it is. It was super difficult. But the boys did extremely well to deal with it.\u2019<\/p>\n
Earlier this season, the refereeing body issued another apology after Wolves were denied a penalty against Manchester United on the opening weekend of the season.<\/p>\n
Goalkeeper Andre Onana looked to have given away a penalty in the closing moments of the contest but was not penalised by VAR.<\/p>\n
Klopp was also furious with both red card decisions. \u2018The first red card, Curtis steps on the ball and goes over. Not a bad tackle. It looks different in slow motion. He steps full throttle on the ball and goes over the ball. That is unlucky.<\/p>\n
\u201c[For Jota] first yellow was not a yellow. Then he gets a second and to defend with eight outfield players is tricky.<\/p>\n
