Diogo Jota provided Liverpool supporters with a moment we will never forget but his presence on the pitch has caused mass debate, including between those who were sat in the Sky Sports studios.
Robbie Keane, Jamie Redknapp and Graeme Souness were not only the three pundits for the match but also three men who have played for both Tottenham Hotspur and the Reds, meaning they should have quite a balanced outlook on events.

To then hear that the trio believed our No.20 should have been dismissed, may help sway the opinion of our own fans into thinking the same.
It was certainly a close shave and the game could have been much different had (ignoring Oliver Skipp’s horror tackle on Luis Diaz) our Portuguese forward been dismissed.

All three also played for Tottenham as well. Where they asked about the ankle breaker on Diaz in the first half?
What did they think about the two footed tackle by Skipp on Diaz which happened in the first half, a potential leg breaker and had he been sent off the incident with Jota wouldn’t have occurred. Last Season, leg breaking tackle by Kane, no action, Tackle by Robertson – Red card, Referee same on both occasions.
