DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (CNN) — The PGMOL, the body responsible for English soccer’s referees, admitted a mistake was made in Liverpool’s two-goal loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League on Saturday.

He continued: “Diaz’s goal was disallowed by the match referees on the field for offside. This was a clear factual error…”

The committee responsible for English football referees concluded in a statement: “The committee will fully review the circumstances that led to the error.”

For his part, Klopp said in the official Liverpool club website reports on the PGMOL committee’s report: “How does it help us now?… We don’t get points for this, so it doesn’t help. Nobody expects. To make 100% correct decisions.” “On the pitch, but we all thought it would make things easier when video technology was used.”

The German coach continued: “The decision (to disallow the goal) was taken very quickly. It changed the course of the match, that’s the case. We scored this fantastic goal, goals like that are the ones you can beat. Your opponents.”
