There is a Premier League rule that could reportedly mean the recent controversial fixture between Tottenham and Liverpool has to be replayed.
The Reds were the victims of one of the worst-ever VAR blunders as a perfectly good goal by Luis Diaz was chalked off for offside due to a misunderstanding.
According to sports lawyer Stephen Taylor Heath, speaking to the Daily Mirror, there is a ruling that could determine this game needs to be replayed.
“Rule L18 outlines that the Premier League board has the power to order a league match to be replayed provided that recommendation to that effect has been made by a commission under rule W51,” he said.
“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.”
See if this happened to anyone else in uk apart from Man U n liverpool this is already forgotten but cause it’s one of they two it’s going to be replayed if it was spurs it happened to liverpool would be saying just except it n move on like they need to do now if it’s replayed it’s a worst decision than the offside
No, it’s a matter of applying FA rules correctly and fairly. Corrupt officials did not do that. Its happening far to offen.
U for real wot about last season Skipp stitches in his head due to high tackle dangerous play but nothing then player goes on to score winning goal klopp tells Ryan Mason to move on talk about something else double standards
Totally agree with you on that. Plus spurs should get a replay of the champions league final against Liverpool.
Thank u. Abide by FA rules n regulations. Reply is a better choice. Therefore match officials must n should be more professional toward the duty.
So by that tolen you would also need to lobby to replay the game at Anfield the week before when West Ham were denied a CLEAR penalty for the blatant foul by McCallister on Bowen!
Where does it all end?!
Not the same at all ..This is not subjective ..the officials have disallowed a goal when they absolutely knew its was a goal .. There were no opinions on the decision here ,
it was absolutely a goal ,,, they knew it was a goal and they allowed it to be disallowed ..They Destroyed the integrity of the game .. this is the reason a replay is being called for
We’re talking about the integrity of the beautiful game buddy, if this doesn’t get sorted, then we might as switch to watching tiddly winks!
As a Liverpool fan and I hope I speak for most when I say this I personally do NOT want the game to be replayed, what has happened has happened it’s more about highlighting the obvious errors so they don’t happen again to anyone no matter what team it is it, they’ve agreed that the decisions were wrong so let’s just move forward and make sur it doesn’t happen again.
To be honest the way all the players celebrated afterwards like they had just won the champions league was just so funny I couldn’t take that away from them but I’ve you need a doggy VAR and two wrong red cards and you still can’t beat 9 mean without an own goal what hope do you have!
Mate not as funny as yous celebrating a draw at home to West Brom.
If there is not fixing it, it’ll happen again and again and again
Totally agree from another Liverpool supporter
Well said, absolutely spot on! Must be a North London thing celebrating like that
The best they can do is to reward the goal to Liverpool and the game counts as a draw 2- 2.
I agree no replay. Award the goal and its a draw and move on.sipithi
Well said , also I was under the impression that waving at the ref to give opposing player a yellow or red card was a bootable offence correct me if I’m wrong. There at least to spurs players doing this and one was on a yellow.
Well said Robert, a bit of sensibility. I agree, there are numerous examples of matches won and lost for wrong decisions, they cannot all be replayed, it was always accepted, and then move on.
This is where technology is ruining the game (apart from the embarrassing diving and fake pain)
Curtis’s was a definite red card, no question. Whether it was intentional or not it was dangerous to the opposition. Playing against a 9 man defence is harder than open play against 11 men. As for the celebration, it was a 96th winner against Liverpool. I agree the game shouldn’t be replayed….where would it end.
No offence to you fella but when you put 9 men behind the ball 2 banks of 4 and the keeper to play for a draw then fair play to you , you did that system for 20 odd minutes and the onus was on spurs to break you down . As a spurs fan we played to your system and kept trying to play through you with no success which was frustrating as when watching you could quite clearly see that if we played out wide it would cause problems for you and it did in the end all be it an own goal . Spurs actually kept the keeper and one defender back incase you broke so effectively 9v9 attack vrs defend . You deserve credit and i give credit for the way you played and agree the game should not be replayed and if the other way around I would not want to have the game replayed . So many dodgy var issues determining the outcome of games has to stop. I agree and at the time i said to my mate the he was clearly on side and the goal should have stood but with the red cards as has been proven they were red’s .My question to you is if for some horrendous decision and the game gets replayed do Liverpool start wit 10 men as you were down to 10 when you scored ???
You need too go too Specsavers mate the one yellow where dodgy falls over his own feet get your eyes checked ,
you can ubderstand Liverpool FC views on the matter because Liverpool have lost the leguage twice by on point

Don’t think it should be replayed as a Liverpool fan. But something needs to happen, we (meaning every team in the league) can’t keep accepting their mistakes and then accepting an apology letter for it. It’s absolutely criminal, VAR will always be based on opinion for red cards and penalties, but offside and goal line technology should be factual. Annoyingly it happens to us ( Liverpool) because people say that it’s the big clubs who get help with var. but the truth is we need to make an example of them.
Just speculation from your part. There is no indication the match is to be replayed and you dont know what would have been considered if it was teams like Tottenham.
I a LFC fan of decades dont want the match replayed as there could be other dangers in doing so.
Stop crying like a big baby. You want this debacle repeated time & time again so no situation can challenge var? You only crying because it’s LFC. If it were other way round you’d be doing your nut, so take off your tinted specs & realise it’s for every future match this has to happen.. or are you happy with the status quo of var? You know var that everyone keeps complaining about every week ?
Why bring Man Ud into the argument , You’re obviously a Liverpool fan

We need Replay that was not fair
But taking the win on a game that was unfair OK??
The game of football together with rules and regulations is constantly evolving as is VAR. So take a note amend the conduct and behaviour of guilty parties, reprimand and punish as deems fit and proper, improve the communication between match officials and stakeholders and move on!
The game should be replayed to promote the intergrity of the epl.
No, it shouldn’t be replayed. Maybe just award the goal to Liverpool and call it a draw!!
you can ubderstand Liverpool FC views on the matter because Liverpool have lost the league twice by one point
During the 90s a game between Arsenal and Sheffield United,had to be replayed due to the integrity of the game being compromised, the game between Spurs and Liverpool was compromised, so game should be replayed, also both red cards should be rescinded
Official from this game should not oversee another EPL game this season. Listening to the audio recording it was utter confusion and mayhem. The decision was an outrage as we can all see and people on social media are all going on that LFC move on. But let us all remember this needs sorting for ALL football clubs or this great game is going down the pan through outrages decision’s
If fans don’t want a replay then the easiest way is to award the point to Liverpool. After all a goal was actually scored so it should be rescinded. Red cards can be rescinded so why not goals that have been wrongly disallowed. It makes perfect sense.
Exactly don’t need a replay just award the goal and call it a draw end of!
Should it hell be replayed, are you all morons.
The result has happened, do we replay until Liverpool win, to stop all you LFC whiners.
Just grow a pair and get on with it.
Obviously you haven’t read the replies,majority of us LFC fans don’t want it replayed – the goal should stand – match draw and point awarded – end of then take the referees to task
Who can say if the goal stood Liverpool would have gone on to win anyway? Spurs are always better in the second half and would have won the game 4-1 anyway. Who say say that wouldn’t have happened?
Why would anyone think Liverpool are so special that a replay is warranted, the other week West Ham had a legitimate penalty claim turned down by the officials, I have seen the incident several times and I’m in no doubt that it was a blatant foul and a penalty should have been awarded, if VAR had bothered to review it then you would hope that it would be awarded, and the outcome was the game could have been different,but no, incompetent officials stuffed that up too, how about a replay for that game too
I`m with you David, it does not need to be rocket science.
What about Spurs they done nothing outside the rules yet they get punished,They start this now it will be never ending.Fix the issues between referees and VAT.
I need this match to be replay and PL to investigate officials responsible for the errors and I don’t believe those red cards given to two players need to be stand
No they wouldn’t say get on with it. Any obviously imbecilic decisions should be highlighted and some kind of recourse made. All clubs will benefit in the long-term, but only LFC have the bottle to call out the idiots who spoil the game by not being equippedto do the job they’re paid for.
Poor Liverpool,do they forgets about the penalty given to them against spurs in the champions league after only two minutes. The never a peno. Maybe we should play that match again. Var has got a lot wrong.
Let the game be replayed an red cards counselled, the referee gave almost 6 yellow cards and 2 red cards to Liverpool, he was bribed
If it was replayed they would have to have the same players on the pitch at the same time including subs, and Jones would have to leave the field on 26mins and jota on 67mins. Stop crying klopp and be thankful you won the CL in 2019 when we were robbed by VAR, that was subsequently proved to be wrong.
So wolves need 2replays then Man U for a penalty and Luton that was not a penalty
Don’t Tottenham have a say in this ? They did nothing wrong, the fault was with the officials, not Spurs. Why should they have to replay or be penalised in any way.
I am astonished by Liverpool’s arrogance in thinking they would inevitably have won the game!
Watch out, Liverpool. Mr Levy loves a fight!
100% spot on and how many other clubs would want a replay this would send out a bad president also all this moaning from Liverpool and thier fans isn’t a good look.
Blimey,
Liverpool shouts and holders the FA runs round at their beck and call. Most vlubs haven’t a chance in hell if being heard, let one getting anything changed no matter what the injustice.
Mistakes happen. We are human. So Klupp and Liverpool shut up. And get on with it!
So all the clubs who have received an apology already this season for incorrect VAR decisions can expect a redress also!
What a waste of time writing this article.
It won’t ever happen so why write about it !!!!
This just won’t happen as simple as that and this is just news for the sake of it
Let’s see without VAR that decision would not have bern challenged…just usual moaning by a big club throwing their dummy out.
Grow up accept human error will happen. Just concentrate on next game.
If they decide to replay the match just because the officials made an error then they must replay every match when an error happens in other words extend the season by another 3 – 4 months.
Wording of breach of rules?? Is that knowingly or accidentally makes a big difference
If knowingly then it’s corrupt officials if accidentally then no case to answer human error sorry get on with it
The match has gone get over it. If had been the other way round there wouldn’t be this controversial debate just because it’s against Liverpool.
There will be replays every week, it’s not the first wrong decision and won’t be the last by VAR until something has improved in the system, get over it and stop whining
I have listened to all the crap so replay is going to happen OK at the time of the goal all players on the pitch at the time and start game from ihe incident and they can go for it.
I’m against a replay football has always been ref makes decisions and we accept them so now move on
Let them replay the game from when the error occurred then send of the two players at the same respective stages of the game…. se what Mr Plopp thinks to that idea
