Own goal seals Spurs win over Liverpool as refs admit 'significant human error'

Jones was dismissed in the first half before Luis Diaz’s goal for Liverpool was incorrectly disallowed for offside by VAR.It said in a statement: “This was a clear and obvious factual error and should have resulted in the goal being awarded through VAR intervention, however, the VAR failed to intervene.”Tottenham took the lead through Son Heung-min’s opener and Cody Gakpo equalised just before half-time, but Liverpool were reduced to nine when Jota saw red after the interval.

After a dismal run of one win in their previous 23 meetings with Liverpool in all competitions, Tottenham could finally savour a rare success against the Anfield outfit. Liverpool, beaten for the first time in nine games in all competitions, are one point behind Tottenham in fourth place. While it is too early to label Tottenham as title contenders, they have already beaten Liverpool and Manchester United, as well as drawing with Arsenal, to underline Postecoglou’s impressive impact.

“We had to cope with a fair few things and show a different side of our game. Second half I thought we were really good.”Postecoglou’s latest memorable result was kick-started in the 26th minute when Jones’ raised boot caught Yves Bissouma on the ankle.
