Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has criticised Tottenham's Micky van de Ven for the "reckless" tackle which has sidelined Reds striker Alexander Isak for a couple of months with a fractured ankle.

The Sweden international was injured in scoring the opening goal of Saturday's 2-1 win in north London when the Spurs defender slid in and caught his shooting leg as he planted it on the floor.
