Juergen Klopp Vs Referee Paul Tierney in the Tottenham Vs Liverpool Match

London –

Jürgen Klopp rightly upset with the leadership Paul Tierney in the game Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool. The English referee was criticized by the Reds manager.

Tottenham vs Liverpool will be presented at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, Sunday (12/19/2021) on the 18th week Premier League. Tierney was in the spotlight in the match that ended 2-2.

The 40-year-old referee was criticized by Klopp, for making several decisions that were considered detrimental to Liverpool. One of them is about the yellow card Harry Kane and violation of Diogo Jota which is not considered a penalty.

Tierney had given Kane a yellow card, after Kane made a hard tackle for Andrew Robertson in the first round. The brunt of the two legs of the England national team captain was not reviewed from VAR.

Then, Robertson made a similar foul to Emerson Royal in the second half. This time, Tierney checked VAR and punished the Liverpool defender with a red card.

Then, Tierney was also highlighted when he didn’t give Liverpool a penalty in the first half. It was when Diogo Jota fell after Emerson tried to grab the ball from his possession from behind.

In the slow footage, it looks like there’s a bit of a push from Emerson. That’s what made Jota collapsed in the penalty box, which was then not considered a violation by referee Paul Tierney.

After the match, Klopp as usual greeted the three referees on the field. Especially for Tierney, the 54-year-old manager was recorded criticizing him.

“I have no problem with any referee, only you. Only you,” said Klopp.

“You said it wasn’t a penalty because Jota quit?” asked Klopp irritably.

A draw makes Liverpool fail to keep their distance from Manchester City. The Reds are still in second place with 41 points, three points behind City at the top of the table, who previously beat Newcastle United 4-0.
