Liverpool's match against Tottenham was fantastic. Conte's possession was highly targeted, relying on efficient defensive counter-attacks to constantly storm Liverpool's backline. Of course, Liverpool are not fuel-saving lamps, and still show great creativity on the offensive end. The scores of the game varied, with Both Tottenham and Liverpool taking the lead at one point, but the end result was 2-2. Such a score is completely acceptable for Tottenham, after all, Liverpool are a super team. But for Liverpool, it will not be satisfied with such a score, after all, Liverpool are running for the league championship and hope to win every game.
And in this game, there are too many controversial penalties. This also made Klopp angry, and after the game, he was furious and questioned the referee's decision. Klopp bluntly said kane was sent off for that tackle foul in which Inge was sent off with a red card. Klopp thought that Robertson's leg would have been broken if he had been on the ground, but the referee did not award a red card for such a bad foul. Moreover, Klopp was also very unhappy that the referee did not award a penalty when Jota was pushed down in the penalty area. Klopp said the referee told him jota had deliberately stopped to create a foul. Klopp retorted, arguing that if he didn't stop, how could he finish the shot?
Harry Kane's foul came in the 19th minute of the game, when Harry Kane released the shovel with the sole of his shoe in the air, did not kick the ball, but directly kicked robertson's foot, which was a very dangerous shoveling action and deserved a red card. However, the referee only gave Harry Kane a yellow card, and the video referee did not intervene. Later, when Robertson fouled, the video referee intervened, reminding the referee, and the referee watched the replay before sending Robertson a red card. With such a differentiated judgment, it's no wonder that Klopp was furious.
The time Jota fell into the penalty area occurred in the 36th minute of the game, when Jota received the ball and was adjusting his pace, only to have Aparecido rush from behind, using both hands and legs, knocking Jota to the ground. Such an action can certainly blow a penalty. But the referee's scale is too large, and the penalty is not awarded, and the controversy is inevitable. In the 69th minute, Ali was pushed down from behind by Alexander-Arnold in the penalty area, and the referee did not award a penalty, I don't know if it was to find balance. Overall, Liverpool suffered a loss in the decision of this game. Klopp's emotional agitation is understandable. Every 1 point is very important for Liverpool at a very critical time in the league entry, and losing 2 points this time means that City's advantage has expanded. This makes it more difficult for Liverpool to catch up with Manchester City.
