Tottenham and Liverpool played out a controversial draw.
Former Tottenham Hotspur star Graham Roberts has hit out at Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk after his comments on Harry Kane.
Van Dijk was responsible for giving away one of two late penalties, and he criticised Spurs top scorer Harry Kane for diving.
He told SkySports: “I think it is a dive. You see him (Kane) diving clearly and no one is talking about it but I think it is a dive.”
Graham Roberts responded to Van Dijk’s comments on Twitter, saying the Dutchman should focus on his own shortcomings.
The draw ensures Tottenham remain just two points back from Liverpool, who are now five behind second placed Manchester United.
Kane’s teammate Erik Lamela also came under fire from Liverpool supporters after winning the late penalty, which Van Dijk conceded.
Spurs striker Harry Kane missed the first but made no mistake the second time.
Van Dijk’s challenge was clumsy and while not much contact was made, he provided Lamela with the opportunity to go down and he should be disappointed at his mistake.
Blaming Tottenham’s players is a bit of a convenient distraction for Liverpool, who should have seen out the game after Mohamed Salah’s late goal.
