Overview
- The FA alleges Romero failed to promptly leave the pitch and/or acted in a confrontational or aggressive manner toward referee John Brooks after his 93rd‑minute dismissal.
- He was sent off for two bookings, first for dissent over Liverpool’s second goal and then for kicking out at Ibrahima Konaté.
- Romero will serve the automatic one‑match ban and miss Tottenham’s trip to Crystal Palace on December 28.
- Tottenham finished the 2-1 defeat with nine men after Xavi Simons’ earlier red card, and head coach Thomas Frank publicly criticized the officiating.
- Reports indicate Spurs narrowly avoided a club fine for ill‑discipline because Romero’s two cautions applied to one player, as the captain’s season already included seven league bookings.
