- Spurs Hold Ten-man Liverpool In Super Sunday Clash, Klopp Furious Over Kane’s Ref Decision
EKO HOT BLOG reports that Tottenham and Liverpool raised the pre-Christmas spirits with a 2-2 draw in an English Premier League classic after a weekend marred by COVID-19 related postponements.
A mistake by Liverpool keeper Alisson gifted Tottenham’s Son Heung-min a 74th-minute equaliser the hosts fully deserved on Sunday evening although the visitors were fuming about some contentious decisions.
Harry Kane ended his two-month league scoring drought to put Tottenham in front after 13 minutes and Antonio Conte’s side should have been further ahead before Diogo Jota equalised.
Andy Robertson gave Liverpool the lead in the 69th minute as they looked set for a ninth successive win in all competitions.
But Son pounced Alisson’s mistake to make it 2-2 and the visitors ended the match with 10 men after Robertson was sent off for a wild tackle.
Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp was furious that Kane was not sent off for a challenge on Robertson earlier.
“The result was fine but would have been different with the right decisions,” Klopp said. “Robertson’s red card proved the VAR was working because I thought maybe they were not in their office.
Luckily Robertson’s leg was in the air [when he was tackled], it was pure coincidence.
Harry cannot judge it. If Robbo’s leg is on the ground, it is a broken leg.”
