Daniel Cook and Darren England deserve to return to officiating duties despite their mistake in Tottenham’s hugely controversial win over Liverpool. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider<\/strong>, former Tottenham and Aston Villa defender Alan Hutton insisted officials should not be punished forever and is hopeful the pair have reviewed and learned from their errors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

England was the VAR official with Cook the assistant VAR during last month’s game between Tottenham and Liverpool when Luis Diaz’s goal was wrongly disallowed for offside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both were stood down the following week but England will return<\/a> as the fourth official for Brentford’s home game against Burnley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cook will be back as the assistant referee for Sheffield United’s match against Man United. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked if it is the right decision to have the pair back in action, Hutton told Football Insider:<\/strong> “I think it is the right thing. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They have been punished for making their mistake – how long do you punish somebody? It was human error, they made a mistake and as long as they have learned from it. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“I am sure they will have reviewed it, how they can change things and make it better, so I do not think we should punish somebody for months just because they made a mistake.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I think this is the right thing for them to come back in. A lesser job, not out in the spotlight to ease them back in but I think it is ultimately the right decision.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
