Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was forced to intervene in a first-half argument between Cristian Romero and Emerson Royal in the 4-2 loss to Liverpool
With Spurs 2-0 down, Royal and Romero clashed as they headed towards the tunnel after the whistle
Argentine player Romero can be seen angrily protesting against Royal
It seemed like it was just a war of words, but when two defenders approached, Micky van de Ven was still worried
However, before the situation could escalate, Vicario rushed to the rescue and grabbed Romero, pulling him away from Royal and knocking him off the field
Reflecting on the incident, Keane told Sky Sports: “I don’t really mind that behavior because it means you care about the game
But they should have that fierceness in defense and style
” Their play
is very poor
I don’t mind, but you have to bring that aggression into your overall game, which we haven’t seen at Spurs
” Although Spurs started well, Mohamed Salah gave the Red Devils the lead in the 16th minute Coming home at fullback, Jurgen Klopp’s side then asserted control of the match and doubled their lead before The first half ended, with Andy Robertson scoring after a save from Salah
Liverpool escaped the box in the second half and scored a third through Cody Gakpo, who headed past Vicario
In the 59th minute, the Red Devils scored their fourth goal thanks to Harvey Elliott, who was named the best player of the match, who put in an excellent performance by heading in from the edge of the penalty area
At this point, many were wondering how many goals Liverpool could score, but Spurs got back into the game and pulled one back through substitute Richarlison
Son Heung-min then made things more interesting with Tottenham’s second goal, but it proved too little, too late
Speaking after the win, Gakpo told Sky Sports: “It’s been a disappointing few weeks with results not being what we wanted
We could have scored more goals
It was a good day
“Everyone wanted to do their best in the last few weeks, but it didn’t work
We wanted to take advantage, score goals, defend together and it was a good result
“It was a good result
Good results and a good title
I’m very happy, very lucky
That’s one for my son
Everyone knows about the situation [with Klopp’s departure]
We wanted to show that to the fans as well as the manager and that’s what we did today
