Liverpool had two players sent off when they lost to Tottenham 2
Deserving of being a key match this week, Tottenham and Liverpool brought many contrasting emotions, along with a lot of controversy after more than 90 minutes at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 30.
The first is the situation where referee Simon Hopper canceled the yellow card to issue a red card directly to Curtis Jones after reviewing VAR.
Diogo Jota received a red card from referee Simon Hopper.
The red card turned the tide of the match.
Controversy continued to arise in the 34th minute, when Luis Diaz’s shot into Tottenham’s net was disallowed because of offside.
It was even more bitter for Liverpool when just two minutes later, the trio of James Maddison, Richarlison and Son Heung-min combined to open the score for Tottenham.
Son Heung-min scored six goals in the first seven rounds of the Premier League.
Liverpool’s history shows that the more adversity they face, the more resilient they are.
Before the end of the first half, if Diaz’s push had been better, to touch a pass from Salah towards the far post, the away team might have taken the lead.
Thanks to their numerical advantage, the match was under Tottenham’s control after the break.
Matip held his head after scoring an own goal in injury time.
10 minutes later, Liverpool continued to lose people.
However, Liverpool remained undeterred.
With Man City losing to Wolves, the tournament only has two undefeated teams: Tottenham and Arsenal.
