The two players were involved in the recent Premier League fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium which saw Spurs’ 2-1 win overshadowed by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp‘s suggestion that a replay should take place after the refereeing body, the PGMOL, were forced to apologise to Liverpool after “significant human errors” saw Luis Diaz’s first-half goal incorrectly disallowed for offside.
The refereeing body later released audio of the decision being made which revealed the uncertainty erupting in the VAR room and the panic when it was realised a mistake had been made.
Liverpool ended up losing the game in north London after a last-minute own goal from Joel Matip with Klopp further frustrated by red cards shown to Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota which reduced his side to nine men.

Alexander-Arnold responds to James Maddison’s post
Alexander-Arnold has continued the banter back in the direction of Maddison when he was asked about the post and could not resist aiming a dig at Leicester City’s relegation from the Premier League of which the midfielder was part of, with the Liverpool player scoring a free-kick against the Foxes a fortnight before their fate was sealed.
“Nah,” Alexander-Arnold told Channel 4 when asked whether Maddison’s caption was accurate. “No, he was asking me to teach him how to put a free-kick in the top corner.
“But, I told him, I’d just shown him the video when I scored at Leicester last year and they got relegated.”
SpursWeb Opinion
It is great to see the England pair having banter over the incident, however, it is Maddison who has had the last laugh with Tottenham sitting at the top of the Premier League table and are currently three points ahead of the Merseysiders.
Spurs fans will be hoping that their players who are on international duty come through their fixtures unscathed and continue to hit the ground running when they face Fulham.
