Liverpool suffered a 2-1 loss at Spurs after finishing the game with nine men.
Curtis Jones was issued a straight red in the first half after his foot slipped on the top of the ball and caught Yves Bissouma.
They also had a perfectly good Luis Diaz goal ruled out wrongly for offside after a VAR mix-up.
That led to the PGMOL issuing a statement admitting that a “significant human error” took place and called the decision “a clear and obvious factual error”.
Things got even worse for Liverpool in the 69th-minute when Portuguese forward Jota, 26, was given his marching orders for a second yellow card.
That left the Reds hanging on for a draw, but their brave efforts came undone in the final seconds as Joel Matip’s own goal condemned them to defeat.
And Rute was in no mood to forgive and forget afterwards as she took to social media to vent her fury.
She posted the PGMOL statement on her Instagram story along with the caption: “Rigged game.”

She then went on to add a clip of Jota’s first yellow card, which came after Spurs ace Destiny Udogie went down after minimal contact from Jota.
Rute added a clown emoji to the footage, which had been posted by Liverpool fan page with: “This was given as a yellow card.”
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp was also fuming after the game, and in response to Jota’s dismissal he said: “The two situations; the first I think is clear not a yellow. The second I didn’t see actually back but it’s not important.
“If the first is not a yellow then we still play with 10 men.”
Jota, who will now miss the upcoming Premier League trip to Brighton, and Rute moved to England in 2017 when he joined Wolves from Atletico Madrid.
He signed for Liverpool in 2020 and the following year the couple welcomed their first child into the world.
Rute is no stranger to showing her support for her man on social media and regularly keeps fans updated with snippets from their personal life on there.
