Summary

Join the Liverpool ECHO’s Joe Rimmer, Theo Squires, Sean Bradbury and Matt Addison for the latest episode of the Blood Red Podcast! To say there’s plenty to discuss on today’s show would be an understatement. In the aftermath of Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat in Tottenham on Saturday, an heroic defensive display from the Reds was completely overshadowed by refereeing decisions and VAR. The quartet discuss the on-field decisions, the usage of VAR, and react to Liverpool’s statement on Sunday evening following 24 hours of controversy as PGMOL admitted 'human errors' were to blame for the VAR failures against Spurs. Liverpool have declared the explanation for the incorrect decision to disallow Luis Diaz's goal at Tottenham Hotspur as "unacceptable" and believe the incident undermined sporting integrity.
