The 2-2 draw was marred
in controversy as Moss awarded two late contentious penalties to Spurs.
A microphone picked up
Moss asking fourth-official Martin Atkinson if he saw Dejan Lovren play Harry Kane onside before he was fouled by Loris Karius.
He was heard saying:
"Martin, have you got anything from TV?"
The action was illegal
as the Video Assistant Referee system was not in use.
Professional Game Match
Officials Ltd produced a statement yesterday, admitting that Moss had made a
'misguided' decision to speak with Atkinson.
However, some have
argued the investigation must go further.
The Professional Game
Match Officials Ltd's former General Manager, Keith Hackett, told the Telegraph:
"A more detailed investigation needs to take place, independent of the
PGMOL, to determine why Jon Moss referenced specifically his fourth official
and television.They can't just dismiss it as a slip of the tongue. That's glossing
over.
