PREMIER LEAGUE Mohamed Salah earning more than one million pounds a week, claims agent

The decision to rule out Diaz’ goal was upheld by the centre-referee Simon Hooper after a VAR review, but PGMOL have now revealed that it was all a mistake and the goal should have stood.

The statement noted that "PGMOL acknowledges a significant human error occurred during the first half of Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool.”
PGMOL admit error in Diaz goal
PGMOL have also noted that the goal scored by Diaz in the first half when the score was still 0-0 should have been allowed to stand, and that they would be sending Liverpool an apology to acknowledge the error made by Hooper and Co.
