The PGMOL has admitted James Tarkowski should have been sent off for his tackle on Alexis Mac Allister during Liverpool's win over Everton in the Merseyside derby.
Tarkowski escaped a red card despite lunging in high on Mac Allister during the first half at Anfield. The Everton defender was shown a yellow card for the challenge by referee Sam Barrott, with VAR Paul Tierney deciding not to upgrade it.
That decision has proven to be highly contentious, with pundits - including Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher - universally agreeing that Tarkowski should have been sent off, while former referee Mike Dean insisted a red card should have been produced.
Now, according to The Mirror's John Cross, there is an acceptance from PGMOL that the follow-through constituted serious foul play, and should have resulted in a red card. An explanation during the game had deemed the challenge to be "reckless" and not a clear and obvious error from the officials.
