Chief Refereeing Officer of PGMOL, Howard Webb has previously awarded a rematch in the MLS and Liverpool can hope that too.
The disallowed goal of Luis Diaz against Spurs has already created a lot of controversy in the PL and the footballing world.

Although the PGMOL have released a statement admitting the officials’ fault in the verdict, this has not stopped the Reds or the fans from tormenting the organization.
The club so far has been successful in convincing the PL to publicly release the audio of the match officials’ conversation.
This has somewhat cleared the air, however, the talk’s possible rematch is not completely out of the equation.
And the proofs of that outcome are quite evident. Before taking over as the Chief Refereeing Officer of PGMOL last year, Howard Webb had been the head of VAR operations in the MLS since March 2017.
Will PGMOL Chief Howard Webb sanction Liverpool-Tottenham rematch?
During his tenure at USA, Webb was made to apologise and replay a league fixture of the USL Championship.
In the match between Miami FC and Pittsburgh Riverhounds in October 2021 which ended 0-0, the Riverhounds were denied a legitimate goal.

A Miami free-kick ended up in their own goal when a player passed the ball back to the keeper, who could not control it and the ball rolled into their own net.
Rules state that a ball that crosses the line directly from free-kick results in a corner for the opposition side.
But the free-kick was taken by another player, who passed it to the said player, who eventually played the pass to the goalkeeper.
Thus this goal would have stood, however, it did not at the moment.
But the match was replayed from the 67th minute, when the own goal happened with Pittsburgh leading 1-0 on October 27, 2021. The Riverhounds won the match with the same scoreline.

If this happens regarding the Tottenham vs Liverpool rematch, then we could see the match restarting from the 34th minute, the exact time Luis Diaz scored the goal, putting the Anfield giants in the driving seat with a 1-0 lead.
Whether this scenario becomes a reality still remains a great question that will only be answered in the coming days.
An ardent football fan and a proud Red. I take immense pleasure in analyzing the intricacies of the game.
