Thomas Frank railed against decisions as Cristian Romero and Xavi Simons saw red and nine-man Tottenham team crashed to yet another home defeat at the hands of Liverpool.
Arne Slot's champions left with three points from a chaotic game in London and are closing in on the top four again.
Victory came at a price with Alexander Isak injured as he scored the opener and Conor Bradley also hurt, but Spurs have more problems.
This defeat was a club-record 11th at home in the Premier League in this calendar year and boss Frank fumed about decisions, including the two red cards and what he claimed was a push on Romero by Hugo Ekitike as he scored Liverpool's second.
