Cristian Romero encouraged Argentina teammate Alexis MacAllister to “go and cry” during Saturday’s heated match between Tottenham and Liverpool.
Spurs won a dramatic Premier League encounter against the Reds in north London by a score of 2-1. The incredibly contentious conclusion saw Liverpool receive two questionable red cards, while Jurgen Klopp’s side also had a Luis Diaz goal mistakenly disallowed for offside, before Joel Matip scored a vital last-minute own goal.
In stunning circumstances, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, which is in charge of VAR, later acknowledged to committing a “significant human error” in ruling out Diaz’s first-half score. And the negligence on display enraged Reds midfielder Mac Allister.
Tottenham Hotspur and Argentina defender After the game, Romero rushed to Instagram to share a joyful message. “This team has a lot of spirit and heart.” “It’s always been this way, all together,” the 25-year-old wrote.
Mac Allister, who won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with Romero, was evidently agitated by the game’s circumstances, commenting under the post: “Normal when you have 12 players,” implying favouritism from referee Simon Hooper.
And Romero responded in a lighthearted manner, writing: “Go cry at home,” as Spurs preserved their unblemished start to the Premier League season and climbed up to second position.
Romero played the entire game, while Mac Allister, 24, was substituted in the 80th minute. And the Liverpool midfielder is unlikely to forget the shambolic refereeing display anytime soon, with VAR official Darren England believing the on-field decision was to award Diaz the goal, which is why he informed Hooper ‘check complete’ and ultimately disallowed the goal.
