Jurgen Klopp faces FA wrath as outrage with ref taints Liverpool win over Spurs
Liverpool made it four wins in a row by beating Tottenham 4-3 in the most dramatic of fashions on Sunday afternoon.
The Reds had been cruising at 3-0 up after 15 minutes through goals from Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah, but left the door ajar for Spurs. Harry Kane pulled one back before Son Heung-min grabbed another and Richarlison levelled things up in the 93rd minute.
