Diogo Jota's wife, Rute Cardoso, has expressed her outrage at the controversial events that unfolded during Liverpool's defeat to Tottenham. After Joel Matip's own goal handed the Spurs a 2-1 win, the Reds were reduced to 10-men when Curtis Jones' tackle was upgraded to a red card.
Things went from bad to worse for Liverpool when Diogo Jota was sent off with 20 minutes left. His wife has now claimed that the defeat was 'rigged' after the VAR howler that saw Luis Diaz's goal ruled out. It was later revealed that the VAR officials incorrectly adjudged that the referee had awarded the goal, and therefore did not see fit to 'intervene'.
Rute Cardoso has taken her anger a step further, branding the officials 'clowns'. She posted a video of one of Jota's bookings with a 'clown' emoji to express her disappointment with the defeat. Liverpool have since released a statement promising to 'examine' their options following an apology from PGMOL.
The defeat has left Jurgen Klopp furious and his player's wife feeling even more outraged. It remains to be seen if Alexis Mac Allister, who made an inflammatory comment on Instagram, will face potential FA charge.
