Liverpool 2-2 Tottenham: 5 Talking Points

Co
The game could have been Liverpool's but for this controversial decision in the dying embers of the game

#4 Can we please get VAR?

<p>
The officials took more time than VAR would have

Liverpool seemed to have cleared their lines and thwarted what was probably the last Spurs attack of the match when the linesman ruled Virgil Van Dijk guilty of kicking Erik Lamela inside the area. But replays showed that Van Dijk did not follow through with his kick and it looked more like Lamela ran right into it. But there was contact, no doubt.

Jon Moss relented to the linesman's theory and awarded a penalty kick to Spurs. Harry Kane slotted home coolly as the Liverpool players continued berating the linesman. Even Jurgen Klopp had a go at him.

Earlier in the 84th minute, Harry Kane had missed from the spot. But that felt like justice at the time given the circumstances, once again. Harry Kane was clearly offside when the ball was played and looked like he went down to minimal contact. After holding a long discussion with the linesman, Moss pointed to the spot much to the frustration of the Reds.

Just take all your anti-VAR arguments and put it in a bottle and send it floating in the sea. There really is nothing wrong with getting things right for heaven's sake. Use the technology. Spare the referee. If the warriors of the web take the blame route tonight, there's no guessing what we're in for.

Save us all the trouble and just get the darn thing.
