Diogo Jota apologised to Oliver Skipp in the tunnel after drawing blood from his forehead with a high boot in Liverpool’s win over Tottenham on Sunday.
Jota was fortunate to avoid a straight red card for a dangerous challenge on Skipp in the second half at Anfield. He was booked by referee Paul Tierney after catching the Spurs midfielder while attempting to control the ball.
The Liverpool forward went on to score the decisive goal in the 94th minute to give the home side a 4-3 win. The eight minutes of added time was largely due to the stoppage so Skipp could have his head wound treated, but he had to be substituted.
