Virgil van Dijk, a defender for Liverpool, lost all control of his anger after receiving a red card against Newcastle United on Sunday.
The incident was captured on camera at St James’ Park and showed Van Dijk ranting in an X-rated manner at the referee before handing the fourth official both barrels. For a foul on Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who was preparing to face battle against Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, Van Dijk was dismissed in the first half
When Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp got involved, the Dutch international stopped arguing with Craig Pawson, and Van Dijk ultimately made his way back to the locker room. The visitors might consider themselves fortunate that they were only down to 10 men as opposed to nine as they went on to win the game 2-1.
