[Saba Sports News] Tottenham emerged victorious with a
2-1 scoreline against Liverpool at their home ground, but the match was
surrounded by numerous controversies. Following the game, Liverpool coach Jürgen
Klopp expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee, stating that the match
was unfair. In response, the Premier League Referees Company initiated crisis
public relations and issued a statement acknowledging that Liverpool star Luis
Diaz’s goal had been incorrectly ruled offside. However, Liverpool fans did not
accept the apology, resulting in the trending topic
“ApologyNotAccepted” on British Twitter. Some fans voiced their
opinion that if the equipment used is inadequate, it should be replaced, and if
the referees’ professional abilities are subpar, then new personnel should be
considered. The substantial salaries earned by Premier League referees were
cited as a factor complicating the recruitment of individuals with the
requisite professional abilities.
