PGMOL have released a statement supporting referee Paul Tierney after he was accused of speaking out of tone by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp in his side's 4-3 win against Tottenham. The seven-goal thriller was settled in the final minutes after Diogo Jota scored just moments after Richarlison thought he'd snatched a point with his first Premier League strike for Spurs.
The fierce clash included a number of talking points both on and off the pitch, with Oliver Skipp heavily involved. In the second half, the Tottenham midfielder went unpunished for a late challenge on Luis Diaz before he was struck by a flailing Jota boot which only saw the Reds forward booked.
On the touchline, Klopp was booked by Tierney before going up to fourth official John Brooks and celebrating in his face after Jota's winner. At full time Klopp also marched onto the pitch to speak again with Tierney before clapping the Liverpool fans.
