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.”
