The 2: 2 summary between Tottenham and Liverpool (Sport 1)
A game full of emotions took place tonight (Sunday) in London between Tottenham and Liverpool, which stumbled for the first time after six consecutive victories and finished 2: 2 with the Spurs, which took it to a gap of 3 points from the leader Manchester City.

Stormy 2: 2 between Tottenham and Liverpool, goal and cooking for Robertson who was sent off
To the full article
Robertson was the one who suffered a severe foul from McCain in the 20th minute, for which the Tottenham striker saw the yellow card, but in the opinion of many - including Jürgen Klopp of course - he deserved a more severe penalty. Later, the same Robertson was sent off after committing a foul himself, but not before the screen referees intervened and sent Tierney, who only pulled a yellow to the defender, to watch the course again. "I have no problem with any referee - only with you," Klopp told Tierney at the end. The Liverpool manager added when interviewed by Sky at the end of the game: "Obviously there were other things that affected the game, but there are some questions that need to be asked of Mr Tierney. "Kane is obviously a red card. The VAR is sitting there, and Robertson's case has been re-examined, but what did he do in Kane's case?"
In addition, the German claimed that Liverpool should have received a penalty following a foul on Diego Jote: "We are not crazy to think that a draw should not be made at Tottenham, but these are crucial situations. Neither the referee nor the VAR said a word. I have no idea what his problem is with me. He made three wrong decisions and they were all against us. "
At the press conference, Klopp said: "If Robertson had left his foot on the ground, she would have been broken by now."
"Where was the VAR?".

Kane, for his part, stated with full confidence that he should not have been sent off: "Unequivocally no. I think it was a strong tackle, but I won the ball, although I did not watch the move. When you play against big rivals and fight for points, there will be strong tackles. "It makes them look worse. But for that there is a VAR."
Tottenham also claimed some discrimination when Muhammad Salah doubtfully touched his hand during the lead to Liverpool's second goal, and coach Antonio Conte said of the controversy over refereeing: "I did not watch Kane's tackle or possible penalty. My team told me their second goal was scored after a clear hand touch. .

As is well known, the game took place even though six others were eliminated in the current round in England, where the corona virus is spreading among many teams and has already begun to hurt during the normal course of the season, all with qualified players having to get on the pitch once every three days on average. Cycles in one week.
Klopp commented on the matter: "We played on Wednesday, Sunday and we have the League Cup on Tuesday. We do not have enough players for that. In case of another contagion or two, players will have to go into isolation. The games on 26 and 28 - it is not possible. We "We need help with the schedule. If we do not play more and have a break, it's fine with me. Before the corona they said we were a bit busy, and now the corona came and gave us a serious blow. It is impossible to continue like this."
He too had something to say about the judgment.
