This is a match at Anfield in round 26 of the Premier League. Around the 86th minute, Tottenham was awarded an 11m kick after striker Harry Kane was fouled by goalkeeper Karius in the away penalty area.
The slow-motion television shows that the English striker has previously fallen into an offside position. However, Liverpool centre-back Dejan lovren's touch before reaching Kane could affect whether the Tottenham striker has been offside.
The match's referee - Jon Moss had a discussion with the sideline referee - Eddie Smart, asking the fourth referee Martin Atkison overheard to see if he saw anything on screen before making the final decision.
Recently, the Professional Referees' Association (PGMOL) affirmed that the request for referee Atkinson from referee Jon Moss was a mistake. However, they still support the referee's decision to award a penalty.
A PGMOL spokesperson said about the situation: Referee Jon Moss is in a good position to observe Liverpool players deliberately touching the ball before it went to Harry Kane in the 16m50 round. He was right when he thought Kane was fouled by goalkeeper Leries Karius.
However, given the pace of this attack, he could not be sure which Liverpool player touched the ball. Eddie Smart has identified Harry Kane as offside, which was correct in trying to explain Dejan lovren's deliberate touching.
Doubts appeared in the assistant's memory when Eddie asked if lovren had been offside. Mr. Moss knew a Liverpool player had touched the ball but it was not lovren.
The referee's request for the fourth referee Martin Atkinson to refer to the slow-motion video was a mistake. Atkinson did not respond and was not involved in the final decision...
In the midst of difficult decisions, the referees were right to admit that Harry Kane was not offside and lovren deliberately hit the ball. This striker was fouled and given a penalty kick.
However, Harry Kane failed to make this kick. He only completed the task of another penalty in stoppage time to help Tottenham earn 1 point. Thereby, he also scored his 100th goal in his Premier League career.
