Premier League Independent Key Match Incidents Panel deem Diogo Jota's red card against Tottenham as incorrect.
Further review of Liverpool's clash against Tottenham has revealed more chastisable decisions that went against the Merseysiders.
The Reds, although handicapped by two red cards, were unlucky to have suffered a 2-1 defeat to Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham, as a late Joel Matip own-goal handed sunk Jurgen Klopp's men.

Wolves make fun of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp over VAR offside issue
In light of Jurgen Klopp's request for a rematch of Liverpool's match against Tottenham due to the "unprecedented" VAR offside dispute, Wolves have humorously made fun of Klopp.
Their ill luck on the day was even worse with the match officiating as a scandalous call—now apologised for by the PGMOL—saw a Luis Diaz goal incorrectly ruled offside due to miscommunication between the on-field refereeing team and the VAR.
Jota's red card deemed unworthy
Klopp's team rallied and played on almost equal footing with their hosts despite a goal wrongly chopped off and a man, Curtis Jones, being sent off.
Their woes worsened when Portuguese forward Diego Jota received his marching orders after he was shown a second yellow card. However, a report by the Premier League’s Independent Key Match Incidents Panel has judged that the decision to send him off was incorrect.
The panel, according to a report by the Daily Mail, comprised three players and/or coaches, a Premier League official and a representative from the PGMOL.
They were said to have voted 3-2 in favour of the player, citing that the threshold for warranting a yellow card was not reached.
Liverpool's attempt to appeal Jones’s straight red card, which he saw for dangerous play, was, however, unsuccessful, and the English midfielder will serve his full three-game sentence.
