Virgil van Dijk accused Tottenham striker Harry Kane of diving after Liverpool were controversially denied victory at Anfield.

The angry Dutch defender insists referee Jon Moss was wrong to award both of the penalties he gave Spurs during a dramatic finale to Sunday's 2-2 draw.

The first was awarded after Kane tumbled over a challenge from Loris Karius, who parried his tame effort away.

However, Kane got the chance to equalise deep into stoppage time when Van Dijk was harshly penalised after tangling with substitute Erik Lamela in the box.

“I think the first penalty was offside and I think it is a dive,” Van Dijk said.

“You see him (Kane) diving clearly and no-one is talking about that.

“There is a lot of discussion about whether it is offside, yes or no, but I think it was offside as well. The referee made his decision together with the linesman. It was good for us that it was saved.

“For the second penalty, I see him coming and I try and hold my leg in, he just pulled his body in front of the ball and he goes down.

“The ref said play on and I was very disappointed that the linesman said otherwise. It is a decision the ref already made and the ref is close than the linesman. Unlucky I think.

“First of all it was offside and secondly he just put his body in front of me. I don’t think that is a pen and the same with the first one. That is also clearly not a penalty.”

Asked if he thought Kane should face retrospective punishment for diving, Van Dijk added: “That is not something for me.

“I thought it was a dive - that is my opinion and the referee thought it was no offside and no dive and he gave a pen. Good for us that we saved it.”

The £75million defender admits the Reds were devastated not to take maximum points after Mohamed Salah's breathtaking late goal had put them 2-1 up. It was the Egyptian winger's second of the afternoon as he took his tally for the season to 28.

“I think the most annoying feeling at the moment is we should have won and kept the 1-0,” he added.

“It was a good goal from Victor (Wanyama). To concede a penalty in the last second of the game was not good.

“Everybody should talk about Mo’s goal anyway because it was fantastic. Everyone can see how good he is and he showed that today.

“It was a good game for the fans to watch. We are disappointed that we didn’t get the win in the end.”
