Fans Think Andy Robertson Should Have Been Sent Off in Liverpool Vs Tottenham

Andy Robertson followed through heavily on Japhet Tanganga in Liverpool vs Spurs and fans think he was lucky to escape a red card.

Liverpool defeated Spurs 1-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to move 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League.

But one key incident involved Robertson and the young defender contesting for a ball which saw the Scotsman plant his studs on Tanganga's ankle.

Despite winning the ball, his boot was high and fans were shocked the incident wasn't reviewed by VAR.

Many were also quick to compare the challenge to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's earlier today, with the Arsenal captain receiving red against Crystal Palace.

Liverpool will be glad to leave North London with all three points after a competitive second half.

Roberto Firmino scored the only goal of the game as his first half strike saw Jurgen Klopp's side record their 20th league victory of the season.

Jose Mourinho's side grew into the game in the second half and had multiple chances to snatch a point.

Liverpool were able to extend their lead at the top following Leicester City's shock 2-1 home defeat to Southampton earlier in the day.

Manchester City could return to second place with victory over Aston Villa in Sunday's late kick-off.

Do you think anyone can stop Liverpool winning their first ever Premier League?
