To summarise: 1) Curtis Jones sent off for a harsh red card. Still image makes it look worse. 2) Minutes later Liverpool take the lead but it’s wrongly disallowed for offside. VAR quickly rules it out, doesn’t use lines to check. 3) Salah flagged for a foul on Bissouma for basically nothing. If the ref doesn’t blow Salah is in the box and could create a big goal scoring opportunity. 4) Spurs get a corner when the ball clearly comes off Kulusevski. 5) Jota booked because Udogie trips himself. He then (stupidly) makes a rash challenge which gets him a second yellow. 6) Before Jota’s second yellow Udogie asks the ref to give Jota a second yellow for a minor foul. He doesn’t get booked even though asking for a yellow is now a bookable offence. 7) Robertson and Peter Krawietz booked for complaining about a foul on Robertson. 8) Bissouma gets a yellow for putting a hand in Wataru’s face. A hand in the face should be a red card. 9) In general, Simon Hooper made a number of decisions which went against Liverpool’s flow in the game. Not being given advantage when we should have, pulling up players for fouls which were incredibly soft.
