"I think they gave everything and showed unbelievable mentality and worked very hard on how to deal with setbacks. The way they responded to several setbacks was immense. The first one is the first red, which I think, I've seen it given before, but I don't like it. I don't like those types of red cards because I think the game is gone if that's a red card. I don't think it's a reckless tackle. I don't think it's exceptional force."
"First and foremost, I'm extremely proud of the players and the team. I think they gave everything and showed unbelievable mentality and worked very hard on how to deal with setbacks. The way they responded to several setbacks was immense. The first one is the first red, which I think, I've seen it given before, but I don't like it."
Xavi Simons was sent off in the 33rd minute after an on-field VAR review upgraded a yellow to a red for a late lunge on Virgil van Dijk. Liverpool took advantage in the second half as substitute Alexander Isak scored and Hugo Ekitike doubled the lead. Tottenham replied through Richarlison but then lost Cristian Romero to a second yellow, leaving the side with nine men. Tottenham lost 2-1 at home and have now recorded 11 home league defeats in 2025. Thomas Frank criticised the sending-off, questioned the awarding of Ekitike's goal, and praised his players' mentality.
