The main talking point was the decision by referee Stuart Attwell not to show a second yellow card to Lucas Bergvall for a foul on Tsimikas.
Liverpool were furious with captain Virgil van Dijk and manager Arne Slot voicing their frustration at the match officials regarding the Bergvall incident.
Ange Postecoglou claimed that Bergvall's tackle should not have warranted a second yellow as it was merely stopping a promising attack, according to him.
IFAB Laws state that if a foul is committed leading to an opportunity for a goal, the referee must caution unless it stops a promising attack.
