Liverpool could lose one of their biggest stars for this absurd reason

Liverpool had the chance to become the sole leaders of the Premier League table on Saturday. Manchester City had lost to Wolverhampton and the Reds, second in the league, only needed a win to overtake them. But it all went wrong: they lost against Tottenham in London with an own goal by Joel Matip in the last minute and dropped to fourth place.

And that was not all. They also suffered two dismissals of important players. Referee Simon Hooper showed the red card to Curtis Jones for a strong kick to Yvess Bissouma and then also to Diogo Jota, who had entered in the second half.

The Liverpool players and staff were very unhappy with the referee's performance, as they believe that he did not make the right decisions and benefited Tottenham. The main complaints are related to Diogo Jota: the first yellow card that Simon Hooper showed him was for an imperceptible foul against Iyenoma Destiny Udogie.

After the match, Spurs defender Cristian Romero posted a photo on his Instagram account celebrating the victory. There he received a comment from Alexis MacAllister, Liverpool player and Romero's teammate in the Argentina National Team, who said: "It's normal when you play with 12", implying that Tottenham had an advantage because the referee helped them. This could get the midfielder in trouble, as according to SkySports, the FA could punish him. The sanctions could be a fine or suspension for a few games.

The coach is in trouble

Jurgen Klopp will have to find solutions for the next Premier League match on Sunday against Brighton & Hove Albion. Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota will not be able to play because they have been sent off. In addition, Alexis MacAllister could receive a suspension. And that's not all, as Cody Gakpo will also be several weeks off the field due to injury.
