Tottenham’s game against Liverpool in September had many fans calling for a replay due to a VAR controversy, and pundit Jamie Carragher still doesn’t seem to let it go.
James Maddison laughed off Jamie Carragher’s awkward replay question.Tottenham played a fierce game against Liverpool, Carragher’s former team, last September. Spurs beat nine-man Liverpool 2–1, but the match was abandoned amid controversy when Luis Diaz’s first goal was disallowed due to a misunderstanding between the VAR and the referee.
The adjudicating body, PGMOL, issued a statement admitting there was “significant human error”. He added that VAR should step in and take no action until the situation is “fully investigated”. Both Liverpool fans and manager Jurgen Klopp were outraged by the injustice and there is talk of a rematch next week. And while it may appear to have fallen on deaf ears, Sky Sports pundit Carragher hasn’t stopped Maddison from digging into some peace.
Friday is an important game but there is still a long way to go, Carragher said after Tottenham’s 2-0 win over Fulham. You did very well. “How do you think I’ll do against Liverpool?”The Spurs player laughed: “I knew it was from Carra’s voice.”Tottenham went top of the Premier League with a home win on Monday night. Ange Postecoglou’s revolution shows no signs of slowing down.
The north Londoners maintain their lead over rivals Arsenal and title holders Manchester City. It was thanks to goals from Son Heung-min and Maddison before and after the break. They then travel to south London to play Crystal Palace in the league on Friday.
