Dejan Lovren "still cannot believe" penalties given to Tottenham Hotspur against Liverpool

Dejan Lovren admits that he is still outraged at the penalties given for Tottenham Hotspur against Liverpool in their 2-2 draw last Sunday and says referees should be 100% confident making a decision.

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has admitted that he is still outraged at the penalties given to Tottenham Hotspur as the two sides played out a 2-2 draw last Sunday.

The first spot kick came about when referee Jon Moss ruled that Lovren's touch had played Harry Kane onside before being brought down by Loris Karius, but the Reds keeper saved the penalty with the scoreline at 1-1.

Mohamed Salah then put Jurgen Klopp's charges ahead in the first minute of injury time, but when Virgil van Dijk caught Erik Lamela with an attempted clearance four minutes in, the assistant referee flagged and Kane did not miss second time around.

"I still cannot believe it happened," Lovren told Sky Sports News. "I saw the two situations afterwards and I was even more surprised to be honest because on the pitch it looks different.

"Maybe you say okay first it was a penalty because he touched him, or it was not offside. But when you see these images it looks even worse. I just do not understand these rules.

"In this situation we need the VAR system. But we could not find it because nobody understood what was happening.

"Then when I saw what the referees were saying between each other 'did he touch or not', I don't know what he said, but then suddenly he gives a penalty.

"It cannot be like that, you need to be 100% when you give a penalty in the 85th minute and in the 95th minute."

Liverpool return to Premier League action with a trip to Southampton on Sunday.
