AFTER MUCH DELIBERATION, THE FA MAKE DECISION ON CHARGING ROMERO AFTER HEATED REFEREE CLASH IN LIVERPOOL DEFEAT — FANS CAN’T BELIEVE IT

Tottenham captain Cristian Romero has been charged by the Football Association (FA) following his red card in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat against Liverpool. The Argentina international received his marching orders after picking up a second caution for kicking out at Reds defender Ibrahima Konate in a Premier League match that was full of contentious moments.Frank & Slot express frustration following incident-packed affair

Following a quiet opening to the fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the hosts were soon reduced to 10 men when Xavi Simons received a red card for raking his studs down the back of Virgil van Dijk’s calf.
Spurs manager Thomas Frank took aim with the Video Assistant Referee’s (VAR) decision to upgrade Simons’ initial yellow card to a red after the full-time whistle, saying “the game is gone.”
Liverpool were then incensed when Alexander Isak suffered a fractured leg following a challenge by Micky van de Ven after putting his side in front after 56 minutes.

Reds head coach Arne Slot later described Van de Ven’s tackle as “reckless”, with Sweden striker Isak having subsequently been ruled out for a couple of months through injury.
Tottenham centre-back Van de Ven has since revealed he texted Isak to apologise for the challenge, saying he had no intention of injuring him.
“I didn’t want to do something to hurt him of course,” the Netherlands international told Sky Sports. “I just wanted to try to block the shot. I think it was a bit unlucky how his foot landed between my legs. So I sent him a text afterwards and I wanted to wish him all the best for his recovery.
“I hope to see him on the pitch very soon again. He really appreciated the message and texted back.”
Tottenham pushed for late equaliser before and after Romero red

And in what turned out to be an eventful evening for Spurs centre-back Romero, the 27-year-old received his first yellow card for dissent after remonstrating with referee John Brooks, claiming he had been fouled as Hugo Ekitike doubled Liverpool’s lead with a towering header.
While Tottenham showed great amounts of courage as they tried to get back into the game with ten players, they were soon reduced to nine when Romero was booked again for aiming a kick at Liverpool’s Konate.

Former Atalanta and Genoa ace Romero protested angrily once again, before reluctantly heading down the tunnel as Spurs huffed and puffed for an all-important equaliser, but they were ultimately left to wonder what might have been against Liverpool.Argentina defender receives FA charge for ‘acting in improper manner’

And following his dismissal, Romero has now been charged by the FA, with Tottenham’s No. 17 having until Friday, 2 January to respond.
In a statement on Christmas Eve, English football’s governing body said: “Tottenham Hotspur’s Cristian Romero has been charged following their Premier League match against Liverpool on Saturday 20 December.

“It’s alleged that he acted in an improper manner by failing to promptly leave the field of play and/or behaving in a confrontational and/or aggressive manner towards the match referee after being sent off in the 93rd minute.”
