Alexis Mac Allister was not pleased with Cristian Romero's comments after Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to Tottenham on Saturday. Following the match, Romero posted on Instagram saying that Spurs had a great spirit and heart, to which Mac Allister replied, "Normal when you have 12 players".
The defeat was caused in part by a VAR blunder that ruled out Luis Diaz's legitimate goal, leading to Heung-Min Son putting Spurs ahead and Cody Gakpo equalising for Liverpool on the stroke of half-time. Liverpool were further reduced to nine men in the second half after Diogo Jota was given a second yellow card. However, Liverpool looked set to hold on for a point until Joel Matip's own goal in injury time handed the win for Spurs.
In response to this controversial result, the PGMOL has since stood down both Darren England and Dan Cook, who were the VAR officials for the match. England has been removed as the fourth official for Nottingham Forest vs Brentford on Sunday, while Dan Cook has been removed as assistant referee for Fulham vs Chelsea on Monday evening. The PGMOL has also acknowledged the initial error and will conduct a full review into the circumstances that led to it.
