Tottenham caretaker boss Ryan Mason says he wants an "explanation" for why Diogo Jota was not sent off on Sunday.

Jota scored the winner for Liverpool in the 4-3 triumph after he escaped a red card for a challenge on Oliver Skipp.

Mason said: "I would like an explanation and a reason why it wasn't. I can understand referees and officials on the pitch missing it even though my feeling was an instant red card because when your foot is studs showing and you're five and a half feet off the ground and make contact with a player's head and draw blood, and there is a gash, I think it ticks all the boxes.

"Probably more so an experienced referee in the VAR room, you want him to help the official on the pitch in that moment. Listen, it's decided the game because that player on the pitch shouldn't have been on there at the end decided the game. I'm pretty sure most football people's opinions will probably feel the same."

Mason was seen complaining the decision didn't go their way because of Anfield.

"I feel like those questions are not for me. I felt like we didn't get that decision, it was a big decision, a crucial decision and one you can't really miss. I find it hard and impossible to really understand why.

"Of course we're just so disappointed because we came here today and created so many chances. On another day we win it with ease in the way we played today but the Premier League's relentless, you have to be ready every single game to fight and we helped Liverpool today."
