Liverpool make Jones red card decision

Liverpool are set to appeal against the red card given to Curtis Jones against Tottenham.

The Reds were beaten 2-1 by Spurs in the dying moments of their game on Saturday, having gone down to nine men by that stage.

Aside from fury at Luis Diaz having a goal ruled out wrongly for offside, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp felt the Jones red card was the wrong decision as well.

“Red card for Curtis, probably everybody in the room here thinks it's a clear red card," the Liverpool boss told reporters.

“I think different because I played football and most of you probably didn't.

“He had full power on the ball, rolls over the ball and then he hits the decisive part of the leg. When you see it in slow motion it looks horrendous but when you see it in real time it's not even that close to being that bed. It wasn't even close to being on purpose.

“It's not too important what I think about it as my thoughts will change nothing. The game is in real time but we judge it in slow motion.

“It makes not too much sense in the first place. If they wouldn't use slow motion we still wouldn't all agree on the majority of situations. It's just a different view. Whatever (the officials do) they try to do it right, I assume."
