The wife of Diogo Jota, a Liverpool star, has blasted the VAR and insisted that the match against Tottenham was rigged.

Tottenham defeated Liverpool 2-1 despite having nine men on the field at the end of the game and a goal wrongly ruled out.

Diogo Jota who came in as a substitute was sent off by the referee after allegedly committing two fouls in quick succession.

Jota’s red card has led to his wife Rute Cardoso slamming Premier League officials following Liverpool's contentious loss on Saturday.

Following the incident, Rute resorted to social media to vent her rage and was not ready to forgive and forget.

According to reports from the Sun, she shared the PGMOL statement and the following caption on her Instagram story, “Rigged game.”

She continued by presenting a tape of Jota's first caution, which was given when Spurs star Destiny Udogie was injured following only a slight touch from Jota.

The video was released by a Liverpool fan page with the caption, "Clown Emoji" added by Rute, “This was given as a yellow card.”

Rute is not a stranger to supporting her guy on social media and frequently updates fans with details from their private lives there.
