Tottenham were outplayed in the 2-1 loss against Liverpool but there was controversy as we were denied a clear penalty against the Reds in the final seconds of the game.
Erik Lamela had scored in injury time and a couple of minutes later, there was madness in the Liverpool penalty box.
The ball broke kindly to Son Heung-min and as the South Korean was winding up for a shot, Sadio Mane clipped the Spurs man.
Son fluffed the shot but referee Michael Oliver pointed for a goal kick. The fans at Wembley screamed for the right decision but Oliver’s view was obstructed by a number of players.
Nevertheless, the call has left a bitter taste in the mouth as we should have had the chance to level the scores.
Liverpool might have been better but we had a chance to secure a point for our efforts at least. Many Tottenham fans were upset over the missed call and here are some of their reactions from Twitter.
Son clearly taken out by Mané last minute… somehow no penalty given pic.twitter.com/wHsCYgdoZ5

Whilst it was a clear pen – it should not deflect from the point that we were woeful today from Borm to Harry we lacked a touch we lacked invention and energy – Inter Milan@must be lacking their lips!

Stonewall penalty and a poor miss from the ref. No bookings in that game which showed how little a contest it was
