After a crushing tackle on Alexander Isak in which he was grabbed from behind, the Dutch defender was dismissed.
The Captain asserted that he had a toe in the game, though. The player was compelled to leave the game after a VAR review confirmed the referee’s initial on-field determination.The defense, as one might expect, as well as many supporters, were not pleased with the choice. Trent’s defensive blunder contributed significantly to Jurgen Klopp’s team’s one-goal deficit.The Dutch defender must now serve a suspension, keeping him out of pivotal games. It would be interesting to see how Klopp lines up for the upcoming match given that Ibrahim Konate missed the game.
The red card has been the subject of numerous skepticisms and inquiries. But according to FA regulations, a player is dismissed if he prevents an opponent from taking a clear shot at the goal.
A one-match suspension is appropriate for receiving a red card for obstructing a clear chance to score. However, there is still a risk that the Dutch International will be given a longer sentence.
The 32-year-old will miss the away game against Wolves if he receives a two-game suspension. That would be the Reds’ first match following the break for international play.
Additionally, it is unknown if Liverpool will contest Virgil’s red card.
