Sky Sports viewers baffled as Luis Diaz goal ruled out in VERY tight offside call… and VAR doesn’t bother to draw lines
FOOTBALL fans were left baffled as VAR didn’t appear to bother drawing the offside lines as they ruled out Luis Diaz’s goal.
The Liverpool forward thought he had put the Reds in front at Tottenham.

But the assistant’s flag went up to chalk it off.
Replays, though, appeared to show Cristian Romero playing Diaz on.
However, after a brief stoppage, the goal was ruled out.
It is understood VAR looked at the goal but the green or red lines to prove whether or not Diaz was onside did not show on the screen.
And that prompted a furious reaction from many watching Sky Sports at home – especially after the Reds were down to ten men when Curtis Jones saw red after a VAR review.
The Twitter account Has the Referee or VAR made a poor decision?said: “Yes, that should not have been a red card for Curtis Jones after his foot slipped over the ball.
“Slow-motion replays really mess up the entire perspective of this decision.
“Then they don’t even draw the lines for the Diaz goal they just ruled out for offside. Very dodgy behaviour.”
Another wrote: “Someone is going to have to explain that Diaz offside to me. No lines drawn, no major review. He looks way on…”
A third added: “What part of Diaz is offside?”
A fourth commented: “Is Diaz really offside here as well? Not sure you can call this without the lines, and I didn’t see any drawn.”
