Luis Diaz tells frustrated Liverpool fans: Referees are human; take it easy

Liverpool attacker Luis Diaz admits he shrugged off the wrongly disallowed goal he scored in defeat at Tottenham a fortnight ago.

While one half of Merseyside have cried foul ever since the VAR call, Diaz has offered a more philosophical view when speaking in his native Colombia.

"The goal issue was a bit complicated," he told El Heraldo.

“At the time, it hit me very hard, but not only to me but to all my teammates. In the middle of the game, we talked about it a lot, it was a positive result that was going to help us.

“These are things that happen; the referees are human. You have to take it easy, and for the next one, it will be."
