Liverpool have been given the audio recording chronicling the offside-goal fiasco in their defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.
Howard Webb has bowed to pressure to release the audio less than 24 hours after receiving a formal request for it from Liverpool.
Telegraph Sport has been told the recording will also be made public in a matter of days as Webb, the head of Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), finally attempts to draw a line under the worst Video Assistant Referee crisis English football has witnessed.
That crisis will also see the Vars behind the debacle play no part in Premier League games this weekend.
Darren England and Dan Cook will remain exiled amid an ongoing review into the “significant human error” that saw them fail to correct the decision to disallow Luis Diaz’s goal in the Anfield club’s 2-1 defeat on Saturday.
England and Cook’s glaring error had already seen them replaced as fourth official and assistant referee, respectively, from Nottingham Forest’s game against Brentford on Sunday and Monday night’s clash between Fulham and Chelsea.
And on Tuesday, England and Cook did not feature as the Premier League released its list of officials for matchweek eight this Saturday and Sunday.
Simon Hooper, the on-field referee for the Tottenham-Liverpool contest and fourth official for the subsequent Fulham game, was appointed Var for Everton’s meeting with Bournemouth on Saturday.
When it comes to releasing the Spurs-Liverpool audio publicly, the usual forum would be during a television programme dedicated to the airing of conversations between match officials called Match Officials Mic’d Up.
The next episode of the show is scheduled for early next week but PGMOL has not ruled out releasing the recording in question sooner than that after acceding to a formal request for it on Monday from Liverpool.
That will depend on a review into the offside-goal debacle first being completed and the findings of it shared with Liverpool, who have demanded “full transparency”.
In a statement issued on Sunday night, Liverpool also said they would “explore the range of options available given the clear need for escalation and resolution”.
