A fan has taken to social media to vent his frustration after the refereeing controversy in the clash between Liverpool and Tottenham\u00a0saw him miss out on \u00a39,500.<\/p>\n
At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday Diaz looked to have given his side the lead when his goal in the first-half was controversially ruled out for offside following a VAR review.<\/p>\n
It later emerged that the decision was a result of a miscommunication between the on-field officials and those on VAR.<\/p>\n
Darren England was the man tasked with VAR duties for the match, with Dan Cook acting as assistant VAR.<\/p>\n
After the on-field decisions disallowed Diaz’s strike, England checked for offside thinking that the on-field decision was to award the goal.<\/p>\n

The PGMOL later acknowledged that the decision was a result of ‘significant human error’ and should have been overturned<\/p>\n

Viewers at home felt that the check was unusually quick. The quick check though was because England felt that Diaz was clearly onside, and told the referee ‘check complete’.<\/span><\/p>\n In doing so, he effectively told referee Simon Hooper that the on-field call was the correct one.<\/p>\n Liverpool later received an apology from PGMOL for the mishap, with the organisation later releasing a statement acknowledging a ‘significant human error occurred’ for the goal to be disallowed.<\/p>\n However, the news will come as little solace to the punter who missed on a nearly five-figure payout as Diaz’s goal was ruled out.<\/p>\n The social media user revealed that Diaz scoring was the only leg of the six-fold accumulator not come in, resulting in them missing out on a \u00a39,500 win from a stake of just \u00a310.\u00a0<\/p>\n The user had otherwise correctly predicted that both Cody Gakpo and Son Heung-min would get on the scoresheet, and Yves Bissouma and Alexis Mac Allister would be booked during the game.<\/p>\n Following the game, the user cheekily tagged James Maddison to compensate the lost winnings along with his Spurs teammates.<\/p>\n ‘@Madders10 good win today bro and great performance, but lucky though eh so surely the boys will chip in and pay this out, cheers pal and great game again.’\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The fan had made five correct selections and had been offered 950\/1 odds from the bookmaker<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The social media user then jokingly tagged James Maddison in an attempt to get their payout<\/p>\n It’s All Kicking Off\u00a0is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football, launching with a preview show today and every week this season.<\/span><\/p>\n It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube , Apple Music and Spotify<\/span><\/p>\n Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\nIT’S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n
