Manchester United legend Gary Neville was not happy after Curtis Jones was sent off by VAR during Liverpool\u2019s clash at Tottenham on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

Just 24 minutes into the match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Jones was booked for a bad foul on Yves Bissouma.<\/p>\n

Many at the ground winced when the challenge was made given how the Liverpool midfielder\u2019s studs went into the Spurs star\u2019s shin and soon the Video Assistant Referee was called.<\/p>\n

Referee Simon Hooper checked the incident on the pitch-side monitor before cancelling the yellow card and showing Jones a straight red, much to the annoyance of the player and his manager Jurgen Klopp.<\/p>\n

Though some agreed with Hooper\u2019s decision, Neville wasn\u2019t convinced, saying on Sky Sports: \u2018A yellow is right.<\/p>\n

\u2018I know when you\u2019re doing someone, I\u2019ve done it myself. He wasn\u2019t there to do someone.<\/p>\n

\u2018He is over the top, the ball is moving and it is certainly not a red, it looks worse than it actually is. His foot slips, it is not a red for me and this will ruin the game.<\/p>\n

\u2018I maybe wrong, but I just do not know any more. In slow motion, you will come to the conclusion it is a red card. I do not think he has gone over the top to do him.\u2019<\/p>\n

Neville\u2019s Sky colleagues agreed, with former Liverpool and Tottenham star Jamie Redknapp adding: \u2018I think the red card is extremely harsh.<\/p>\n

\u2018Every time you go into a tackle like this you are risking going over the top of the ball.\u00a0Once he doesn\u2019t get it right it doesn\u2019t look good but he doesn\u2019t mean to hurt him and yellow card would suffice.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ex-Spurs player Andros Townsend concurred: \u2018Letter of the law, the force it has to be a red card.<\/p>\n

\u2018But he does get enough of the ball and for me, and for a lot of players \u2013 football is a contact game, as soon as you get the ball, the rest is history.\u2019<\/p>\n
