Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham were the beneficiaries of a truly horrendous error from officialdom that ensured the Australian's superb start rolled on with a controversial victory over Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool's players left north London with a burning sense of injustice, fuelled by a statement from referees' body the PGMOL that confirmed "significant human error" was responsible for Luis Diaz's goal being incorrectly ruled out for offside in the first half of this bitterly painful 2-1 defeat.
There was nothing approaching consolation for Liverpool, who were also unhappy about red cards for Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota in each half.
