Jota Breaks Tottenham Hearts with Late Winner Amid Referee Controversy

Liverpool secured a dramatic 4-3 win over Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday, with Diogo Jota scoring the stoppage-time winner.

Liverpool had raced to a 3-0 lead within the first 15 minutes, with goals from Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz, and Mohamed Salah.

However, Spurs responded with goals from Harry Kane, Heung-min Son, and Richarlison, drawing level.

Jota then took advantage of an error from Lucas Moura to score late on.

However, Spurs fans may feel aggrieved that Jota was on the pitch to score the winner. Jota had committed a high tackle on Oliver Skipp not long after coming on as a substitute drawing blood, but referee Paul Tierney only issued a yellow card, and VAR chose not to intervene.

Jones has now started the last six matches for Liverpool, and Sunday’s goal against Spurs was his first of the campaign.

Klopp has settled on a midfield trio that includes Jones, and his confidence in the 22-year-old may help him fulfil his potential.
