Overview
- The FA alleges Romero failed to promptly leave the pitch and acted in a confrontational or aggressive manner toward referee John Brooks after his 93rd‑minute dismissal.
- Romero has until January 2, 2026 to respond to the charge under the governing body’s disciplinary process.
- He was sent off for a second yellow after kicking out at Ibrahima Konaté, having earlier been booked for dissent over Liverpool’s second goal, and head coach Thomas Frank later argued the caution was unwarranted.
- The red card triggers an automatic one‑match ban, ruling him out of Tottenham’s December 28 trip to Crystal Palace.
- Tottenham avoided an automatic FA fine for ill‑discipline because Romero received two of the cards, keeping the number of distinct cautioned or dismissed individuals below the threshold.
