Liverpool to appeal Curtis Jones' red card, here's proof that Simon Hopper got it wrong

Tottenham moved to the runners-up spot in the Premier League standings with a 2-1 win over Liverpool in London. Joel Matip's own goal in stoppage time gave Spurs the win. From the 26th minute onwards, the visitors had been restricted by the dismissal of Curtis Jones. After that, it took Tottenham just 10 minutes to take the lead through Heung-Min Son. However, the Reds did not let up and in first-half stoppage time, Cody Gakpo popped up to equalise before the break.

Holding on for 45 minutes with a man down looked a tough challenge for Jürgen Klopp's side, and the situation was made worse when Diogo Jota was sent off in the 69th minute for a double yellow. Despite this, Liverpool put up a fight and held on to the equaliser until late in the second half. Unfortunately, an unfortunate play by Joel Matip sealed the visitors' fate. With this heart-stopping win, Spurs moved to the runners-up spot in the standings with 17 points, one behind Manchester City. Liverpool slipped to fourth on 16 points.

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp railed against the referee's decision to send off Curtis Jones for a glancing tackle on Bissouma and claimed the slow motion had an impact. The German was visibly angered by the referee's decisions and the VAR, which led to his side losing to Tottenham Hotspur after playing with nine men and seeing a legal goal disallowed against Luis Diaz. I've played football, many of you probably haven't," he said. What Curtis did looks horrendous in slow motion, but at normal speed it's not," said the German.

Hopper's mistake

"I understand that they don't make the mistakes on purpose, but there are still mistakes. If we want to talk about it, it has to be done properly, not with hot headlines from the coaches." "How can it be that Jota gets sent off with a double yellow, when in the first one he hardly touches the opponent? This is the problem. A lot of things have happened. When was the last time you saw an 11 v 9 game? And it was almost 11 v 8. There was no horrible kicking. We weren't kicking, it was an intense game," Klopp added. According to various sources, Liverpool will appeal Curtis Jones' red card. Here is proof that referee Simon Hopper made a mistake:
