The Professional Game Match Officials Limited have released the audio conversations from Liverpool’s defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Liverpool were left furious that the defeat was marred by a series of controversial calls made by the match officials.
The most controversial call came during the first-half when Luis Diaz saw an effort wrongly disallowed for offside.
The PGMOL admitted immediately after the game that 'a significant human error occurred' when Diaz's strike was ruled out.
And now the PGMOL have released the audio of the conversations that took place, and below is every word that was said.
