Diaz's goal incorrectly ruled outLiverpool issued statement on SundayNeville believes statement is 'vague and aggressive'WHAT HAPPENED?
Liverpool issued a damning statement on Sunday after Diaz's goal was wrongly ruled out against Tottenham. The PGMOL admit that a 'significant human error' occurred, but the Reds claim that the explanation was "unacceptable" and say that there is a "clear need for escalation and resolution".

Liverpool were left reeling after their defeat to Spurs; they had both Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota sent off, while Joel Matip scored a 96th-minute own goal to condemn them to a devastating defeat. Still, Manchester United legend Neville believes that the Reds have overstepped the mark with their statement, and have strayed into both "dangerous phrases" and "aggressive" language.
WHAT THEY SAID
Neville wrote on X: "Jurgen Klopp handled the situation well last night after the game. Most football fans will have had empathy with what happened and recognised it was wrong!
"However Liverpools statement tonight is a mistake! Talk of exploring all options ( what does that mean!!! ) and sporting integrity are dangerous phrases along with being vague and aggressive.
"Sorry we f@@@@d up was enough!! I said this last night. Sorry should be respected and not undervalued.
"This is a snap reaction that can always be wrong but I feel strongly about it."
