Wolves have hit back at Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp’s demands that his side’s 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur be replayed.
On Saturday, the Reds saw Luis Diaz’s goal incorrectly disallowed for offside and the incident has been the talk of the town ever since.
Wolves are the latest club to poke fun at Klopp’s anger and frustration over the officials’ incompetency, posting a TikTok of a similar circumstance they faced – against Liverpool!
Post-match, Klopp told the media:
“Yes, it was a mistake, an obvious mistake and I think there would have been solutions for is afterwards.
“And I can say immediately, even probably some people don’t want me to say, but not as the manager of Liverpool so much, more as a football person, I think the outcome should be a replay.
“That’s how it is, probably will not happen. I think the situation is that unprecedented, that it didn’t happen before in that moment.”
Earlier this year in January, Wolves were denied a perfectly legal goal scored by Toti which was ruled out for offside in their FA Cup third round tie at Anfield.
VAR had no camera angle on hand to offer enough evidence to overturn the decision, so the call stood and the match finished 2-2 – robbing the visitors of a win.

Julen Lopetegui was the Wolves manager at the time and said:
“We have seen it, the offside doesn’t exist, I’m sorry. It’s impossible. Someone has told him it’s offside, but we’ve seen the images, it doesn’t exist.
“The decision is wrong. I make mistakes every day, and sometimes they do too. Today we have the help of VAR, and it’s a pity, because I’m sorry, it’s not offside.”
Klopp was sympathetic in regards to the incident, which led to Liverpool beating Wolves 1-0 in the replay at Molineux which sent the Reds into the fourth round of the competition.
“We have one picture where it may look offside, but I can understand why they are angry about it. We don’t want the VAR to just have one angle.”
