Thomas Frank blasted the performance of referee John Brooks after Tottenham’s nine men suffered another home defeat despite a battling display in a 2-1 loss against Liverpool.The score barely told half the story of a bonkers Premier League encounter where Xavi Simons and later Cristian Romero were sent off for Spurs, who lost for a fifth time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season.An even contest tipped in the balance of Liverpool after 33 minutes when Xavi’s studs-up challenge on Virgil van Dijk’s Achilles earned the Tottenham playmaker a red card, and Alexander Isak broke the deadlock in the 56th minute.

00:00You get the first red, which I've seen being given before, I also said before, definitely a few times in Brentford, also seen others, I don't like this as a red card, I think the game is probably too big to say gone, but for me it's not reckless, it's not that it's called an exceptional force, and then I think the second goal is a mistake from the ref, I think there's two hands in the back, clear two hands in the back.
00:30I don't understand it, how you can do that, anyway I've seen that a thousand times out there on the pitch, someone go up in a header, a goal kick into the centre back, two hands in the back, boom, foul, but apparently not in the penalties box, I think that was the biggest mistake, in my opinion, and from VAR, but apparently that was not enough.
