It’s the soup of grimaces for the Reds. Coldly beaten by Tottenham in the last moments of the game (2-1), on an own goal from Joël Matip, at the end of a meeting which will see Jürgen Klopp’s men reduced to 9, Liverpool left feathers in north London. The defeat, already cruel, could have serious consequences. While the referee of the clash, Simon Hooper, had whistled an offside position by Luis Diaz on his goal, although valid, Alexis Mac Allister had criticized his compatriot Cristian Romero on Instagram in the wake of a post from the latter.
“Normal when you play with 12…”, had commented on the Reds midfielder under the publication of the Argentinian Spurs defender, before deleting. Unfortunately, his comment did not go unnoticed since The Sun reports that the FA Premier League could sanction Mac Allister for implying that Tottenham were playing with 12 men, with the help of the referee. If the type of sanctions is not yet known, this decision could be dear to the former Brighton player. As a reminder, the PGMOL had after the match, recognized a fatal error by the referee Simon Hooper, not helped by the VAR that day.
