After Liverpool’s controversial defeat against Tottenham last weekend, Rute Cardoso – Diogo Jota’s wife, criticized Premier League referees and called them “clowns”.

Jurgen Klopp’s team had only 9 players left after a direct red card from Curtis Jones and 2 consecutive yellow cards from Jota, as well as a completely legal goal from Luis Diaz that was rejected by the referees . Even though more than a day has passed, Rute did not want to let this scаndаl go, and expressed her frustration on social networks.

She posted an apology from PGMOL (Premier League Referees Authority) on her Instagram story after Joel Matip’s own goal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the caption: “Rigged match”.

Following that post, Rute added a clip of Jota’s first yellow card, when Destiny Udogie appeared to be in pаin despite very minor contact or even no contact at all. She didn’t forget to add a clown emoji to the clip with the caption: “This is a yellow card.”

Jota and Rute had a child together in 2021. They both moved to England in 2017 after the Portuguese striker joined Wolves from Atletico Madrid.She regularly updates fans about her private life on social networks, as well as sharing support for her husband on the field. Jota has made a big impression since he joined Liverpool for £41 million, scoring 44 goals and winning the FA Cup and Carabao Cup titles.

In the short term, he will miss the away trip to Brighton because of his red card in the last match. Coach Klopp was extremely angry at the way PGMOL reacted after the match.

The German strategist said about Jota’s dismissal: “The first situation I think is clearly not a yellow card. The second situation I really haven’t reviewed yet, but that’s not important. If the first situation is If it’s not a yellow card, we’ll still play with 10 people.”

He also added about the red card for Curtis Jones: “Maybe everyone in this room (only the media) thinks it’s a clear red card, I think differently, because I’ve played more football than most.” All of you are here.”
