Liverpool fans were celebrating the win, while Everton fans were left frustrated by the decision. Everton manager David Moyes described the goal as a "clear offside" and expressed his disappointment with the referees' decision.

However, former referee Howard Webb has spoken out in defence of the officials, explaining that Diaz was not in an offside position when he interfered with play. Webb believes that Diaz was simply standing in the offside position, but not doing anything to interfere with the opponent.

According to Webb, the law states that a player can be in an offside position, but not be penalized if they don't interfere with the opponent. In this case, Webb believes that Diaz was not challenging for the ball and therefore did not commit an offside foul.

The VAR team also reviewed the play and determined that there was no challenge made by Diaz, which allowed the goal to stand. This decision has been met with relief from both sets of fans, who were expecting a more contentious outcome.

The offside law is designed to prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage by interfering with the opponent's play. In this case, Webb's explanation suggests that the officials made the correct call, and the goal should stand.
