Brendan Rodgers 'embarrassed' by penalty calls

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has claimed that his side were denied "two clear penalties" during Wednesday's 2-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Captain Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez were both involved in incidents at White Hart Lane as the Reds slumped to a fourth loss of the season.

"We never got the rub of the green tonight. It was a little embarrassing, to be honest," Rodgers told Sky Sports News.

"Two clear penalties. Steven Gerrard - that was bordering on assault, never mind a tackle. It was frightening how we never got the penalty for that. And if you watch, Luis Suarez gets kicked by William Gallas, also."

Liverpool have moved down to 12th place in the table with Wednesday's defeat.
