After Curtis Jones’ contentious 26th-minute dismissal, the Reds were down to 10 men for the remainder of the first half. To make matters worse, Luis Diaz’s goal was incorrectly chalked out for offside, a mistake for which PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited) has since issued an official apology.
Ten minutes later, Son Heung-min gave his team the lead thanks to a Richarlison assist, and Cody Gakpo tied the game just before halftime. Richarlison and Klopp engaged in a number of tense exchanges throughout the game, according to Football.London (via Mirror).Prior to Richarlison approaching Klopp once more following Jones’ dismissal, the two appeared to have exchanged glances on the touchline a number of times. According to reports, Ange Postecoglou had to step in to prevent the Brazilian striker from getting into trouble.
Richarlison,has a colorful background with Liverpool, having previously played for their bitter rivals Everton. After receiving two yellow cards in the span of 90 seconds, Diogo Jota made matters much more difficult for the Reds.With more than 20 minutes remaining and a two-man disadvantage, Liverpool made a heroic effort to maintain the score. However, Spurs won thanks to Joel Matip’s errant clearing from a Pedro Porro cross that fell into Liverpool’s goal in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
