Tottenham – Liverpool: Match in pictures

Tottenham’s Premier League draw with Liverpool has not been without controversy, with the two clubs disagreeing with some refereeing decisions.

Tottenham’s second-half penalty appeal was denied due to Dele Alli’s challenge, while they felt their opponent’s second goal should have been ruled out due to a handball by Mohamed Salah in preparations.

Meanwhile, Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp has disputed referee Paul Tierney for a number of decisions, most notably seeing Harry Kane shown only a yellow card for a challenge to Andy Robertson.

The VAR did not ask the official to take a second look at the incident, which Kane himself defended, but Tierney later sent Robertson to a separate foul against Tottenham defender Emerson Royal, and an explanation for that disparity has now emerged.

“It was a solid interference but I thought I won the ball,” Kane said of the first-half challenge.

“Obviously I never watched it again. When you play against big teams and you fight for points sometimes there will be strong interferences. They check it and we move on.”

However, Klopp had no doubts that Kane should have been sent off, saying that Robertson’s leg was in the air, was purely a coincidence. Harry can’t judge her. If the robo’s leg is on the ground, it is a broken leg. “

According to an explanation from officials, it appears that Robertson’s leg position was a major factor in the decision not to call Tierney to the field steward.

Harry Kane’s red card decision has been criticized as “another mistake” by former Premier League referee Andy Robertson judging Tottenham’s red card and Harry Kane with Liverpool’s nerves on fire.

According to The Athletic, officials were satisfied with the decision because Robertson – after he jumped – was not caught as badly as he would have been if his leg had been transplanted.

In contrast, the report claims that Robertson’s latest challenge threatens Emerson’s safety, and Tierney opted to upgrade his initial yellow card to a red after consulting the screen.

Robertson tweeted after the match: “I grew up to take responsibility when you’ve done something wrong and I must admit the challenge I faced was a poor and underrated one.”

Former referee Keith Hackett contested “another arbitration error” due to the decision to book Kane only.

“How can he defend a player who is out of control, using excessive force?” Asked.

“Why doesn’t VAR suggest looking at the screen to help the referee? That’s what it’s for.”

Robertson will miss Liverpool’s next three matches, including the January 2 match with rivals Chelsea, after a red card.

In the meantime, Kane will be free to take part in Tottenham’s next league match against Crystal Palace on Boxing Day.
