Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was unhappy with the way Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven tackled Alexander Isak as the Swedish striker scored the Reds' second goal on Saturday in North London, believing it was reckless - to be fair, it did result in Isak's leg getting broken. However, Spurs boss Thomas Frank obviously doesn't see it that way and believes every "true defender" makes that tackle.

Virgil van Dijk has said he spoke to Xavi Simons following the midfielder's red card in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Tottenham and insisted there was no intent to cause injury.

I don't know if it's sharpness. In general, players miss chances. He's a human being. We're not used to him missing chances let alone a few games in a row, but these things happen. The main thing is Mo has always scored goals for our club. The last thing I worry about is Mo starting to score goals again because that's what he has done his whole life and that's what I expect him to do again.
