Oliver Skipp was not punished for a tackle that left Liverpool's Luis Diaz hurt because VAR officials considered that the ball was won by the Tottenham midfielder.
Skipp caught Diaz on the shin with a late, studs showing challenge in the 34th minute of the match at Anfield, leaving the winger writhing in agony on the turf.
But after a break in play for Diaz to receive treatment, no free-kick was awarded to Liverpool, nor was Skipp penalised with either a yellow or, as many Reds fans thought was deserved, a red card.
