Another week, another dramatic late winner for Tottenham - but their 2-1 win over the Reds was tinged in controversy after two contentious red cards and a wrongly disallowed goal.
To call it a roar would be a supreme understatement. It was more like a sonic boom, one that could be heard far and wide - from north London to Glasgow, to Yokohama, and all the way back to Australia.
Equally, you can forgive Jurgen Klopp for raging against what he described as the most “unfair” game of football he’d seen. Two of his players, Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota, were contentiously sent off, and a first-half goal to Luis Diaz was incorrectly disallowed for offside, with the English refereeing body admitting a “significant human error” was made by the VAR’s failure to intervene and overturn the decision.
“It was a fairly eventful finish again, and I’m obviously pleased to come out on the positive side,” he said. The Reds scored their goal in first-half injury time through Cody Gakpo, who took a knock just prior to his turn-and-shoot strike, and was later sighted in a leg brace. Klopp said he fears it is a “bad” injury.Jones’ red card came in the 26th minute for a studs-up tackle on Yves Bissouma, which was upgraded from a yellow after a VAR review but looked far worse in slow motion than it did in real time, he argued.
