Liverpool\u2019s appeal over Curtis Jones\u2019 red card against Tottenham has been unsuccessful, with the midfielder now ruled out of Premier League contention until November.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old was initially shown a yellow card by referee Simon Hooper in Saturday\u2019s 2-1 defeat after catching Spurs midfielder Yves Bissouma on his shin.<\/p>\n
But Hooper was referred to the pitch-side monitor by VAR to take a second look at the challenge and upgraded the punishment to a red card.<\/p>\n
Liverpool thought they had scored soon after but the goal was incorrectly ruled out for offside \u2013 with PGMOL releasing the audio surrounding the blunder on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n
The Merseysiders went on to lose the match after a stoppage-time own goal from Joel Matip while Diogo Jota was also sent off for two bookable offences as the visitors ended the contest with nine men.<\/p>\n
Jurgen Klopp was unhappy with Jones\u2019 dismissal afterwards, saying: \u2018Curtis steps his foot on the ball and rolls the legs.<\/p>\n
\u2018Whatever you do with that. It was not a bad tackle. He stepped on the ball. He steps full throttle on the ball and then he goes over the ball.\u2019<\/p>\n

Liverpool submitted an appeal over the red card on Monday but have been unsuccessful, with the Reds confirming he will serve a three-match suspension.<\/p>\n
A statement on Tuesday evening read: \u2018Curtis Jones is set to serve a three-match Premier League suspension after an appeal to overturn the red card he received at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
\u2018The midfielder was initially shown a yellow card for a challenge on Yves Bissouma in the 26th minute of the fixture at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n
\u2018However, that was upgraded to a straight red following VAR intervention.<\/p>\n
\u2018Jones will now not be eligible for the Reds\u2019 encounters with Brighton & Hove Albion, Everton and Nottingham Forest this month.<\/p>\n
\u2018Meanwhile, Diogo Jota will also serve a one-match suspension following his sending off for two yellow cards, ruling him out of Sunday\u2019s trip to the American Express Community Stadium.\u2019<\/p>\n
Jones will be able to play against Union Saint-Gilloise and Toulouse in the Europa League but will not be back in Premier League contention until Liverpool visit Luton Town on November 5.<\/p>\n
