Liverpool, who have been repeating themselves this season, have perfectly demonstrated the ups and downs at home against Tottenham, leading by three goals in the first 15 minutes, only to be equalized, but to make up for the killing, and the game has been greatly reduced. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp accidentally strained his hind thighs while celebrating his goal, and did not forget to bombard the law enforcement referee after the game.
Liverpool rushed wildly from the start, with Jones, Dias and Salah hitting penalties to take a 3-0 lead as early as 15 minutes. Thinking that the Reds had won another big win at home, they played more and more carelessly, making mistakes from time to time, and finally being chased 3-3 by goals from Kane, Son Heung-min and Risharison in stoppage time; The latter scored his first Premier League goal since joining Tottenham.
And when everyone thought of a draw, Jota grasped the route of Mora's return pass in the final blow, intercepted the ball and shot into the game, giving the Reds a 4-3 victory; It was also the sixth time Jurgen Klopp had been brought in as a substitute and had contributed in stoppage time, the most in the Premier League. No wonder Klopp was so excited that he shouted and ran wildly, but accidentally strained the hind thigh muscle, so he later walked with a limp according to the injury.
Klopp reacted more strongly than usual, and there was a reason behind it, it turned out that he always thought that referee Paul Tierney was targeting Liverpool, and he was especially angry that Salah had violated Ben Davies before Tottenham equalised, but the referee turned a blind eye, "We had some feuds with Tierney and I really don't understand why he was targeting us, he said there was no such thing, but it was not true". Klopp remembers Paul Tierney again in 2021 against Tottenham, who did not award a red card to Kane, who intercepted roughly.
Klopp also talked about shouting at the fourth referee to celebrate, saying: "I rushed to the fourth referee to celebrate, but I didn't say anything bad or unbearable, and I also strained my thigh and was punished for it. However, he (Paul Tierney) gave me a yellow card and what he said to me at the time was not acceptable."
The Premier League Professional Referees Association (PGMOL) said it would not sanction Paul Tierney in relation to Klopp's allegations, "We have listened to the recording of the game and can confirm that he (Paul Tierney) has been professional all the time, including when the Liverpool boss was given a yellow card warning, so we will not take any further action against him".
Coincidentally, Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Mason also bombarded the referee after the game, arguing that Jota should be given a red card for an overly raised interception before scoring the killer goal. However, Mason also realised that the team's defeat was not only a refereeing problem, but also a more worrying performance at the start of the game, it turned out that they have scored 13 goals in the first 15 minutes of this season, which is the league champion, "I tell everyone, we are afraid, we have to deal with it and deliver better performances, and after that, we showed a united side".
