Tottenham defeated Liverpool 2-1 in round 7 of the Premier League and there were many controversial situations in this match.

This is the first time since 2017 that the north London team surpassed Jurgen Klopp’s army. Tottenham took the lead thanks to Son Heung-min from minute 36. Then, Cody Gakpo equalized for The Kop at minute 45’+4. However, Joel Matip scored an own goal in the 90’+6 minute to bring 3 points to Spurs.

But the highlight of this match are the 4 controversial situations. The first was Curtis Jones’ red card in the 26th minute.

Accordingly, Jones was penalized for making a rough tackle on Bissouma. The referee, after consulting VAR, canceled the yellow card previously issued to this player, replacing it with a red card.

Analyzing live on Sky Sports, Gary Neville said: “I think a yellow card is reasonable in this situation. Curtis Jones’s foot is above, the ball is moving so it is not a radical action.” I think he slipped, for me it’s not a red card and the referee’s decision will ruin the match.”

The next controversial situation took place in the 33rd minute. Salah had a pass for Luis Diaz to cross and finish at an angle to defeat goalkeeper Vicario. However, the goal was not recognized when VAR determined that Diaz was offside.

The problem is that Luis Diaz was not offside in this situation. Reviewing the slow motion, the naked eye can also determine that the 26-year-old striker stands above Romero, Tottenham’s last defender.

The next 2 controversial situations both belonged to Diogo Jota when he received 2 consecutive yellow cards after 2 consecutive fouls on Destiny Udogie. It is worth mentioning that in these two situations it is unclear whether there was an actual collision or not.

Jota’s first yellow card came in the 68th minute. He caused Udogie to faint after accidentally colliding with a Tottenham player while retreating to support the defense.

Just 1 minute later, the Portuguese star’s rash tackle caused Udogie to fall to the field. But it seems like he didn’t mean it and it’s clear that the Tottenham player fell out too beautifully.

Having to endure too many controversial unfavorable situations, Liverpool even conceded the deciding goal due to an own goal. Indeed, yesterday, they were so unlucky.
