Liverpool’s supposed devaluation of the FA Cup includes an attendance of 52,399 for tonight’s match. The visitors have had a taste of the Anfield atmosphere and a lot of home fans got a rare chance to be part of it - at a price that is far more in reach than usual.

So the VAR, Darren England, checked offside thinking the onfield decision was "goal."
It was a quick offside check because it was clear Diaz was onside, so he told the referee "check complete".
