Fans spot moment Spurs star Udogie should have been shown red card as litany of referee errors pile up after VAR debacle
IT gets worse for the refereeing team of last night’s match between Liverpool and Tottenham.
That’s after fans spotted the moment they believe that Destiny Udogie should have been sent off for a second yellow card.

The Spurs full-back picked up a yellow card just before half time, but many fans think he should’ve received another in the second half.
Eagle-eyed supporters have noticed that the Italian gestured towards referee Simon Hooper that Diogo Jota should’ve been put in the book.
The action of asking for another player to be booked has been ruled out this season with a number of players already seeing yellow for the offence.
A second yellow would have seen Udogie given his marching orders in a match where Liverpool spent over 25 minutes playing with just NINE men.
Fans are fuming with the revelation and took to social media to vent their frustrations at the officials.
One said: “I have no words.”
Whilst another added: “This is when you know the game is gone.”
A third wrote: “Udogie second yellow for waving an imaginary card??”

And it’s not just the one incident that fans have been left fuming with after Curtis Jones was issued a straight red card in the first half for a contentious tackle.
On top of that Liverpool had the ball in the back of the net from Luis Diaz in the 34th minute, only for VAR to fail to overrule an incorrect offside call.
The PGMOL have now issued a statement apologising for their intervention with the Liverpool forward actually ONSIDE when he scored.
The mistake was said to be a “human error” and has resulted in the VAR officials in charge being axed for their next games.
To add insult to injury for Reds fans, Spurs walked away with all three points after Joel Matip turned the ball into his own net in the 96th minute to see the game end 2-1.
