The red card that Alexis Mac Allister received during Liverpool‘s 3-1 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday has been appealed.
After challenging Ryan Christie, Mac Allister received a straight red card, and Jurgen Klopp’s team won 3-1 at Anfield.
Referee Thomas Bramall’s first call was not overturned when VAR reviewed the decision.
Mac Allister’s three-game suspension for receiving a red card means he will miss Liverpool’s Premier League games against Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Wolves.
The Football Association has received an appeal from Liverpool under the heading of “wrongful dismissal,” nevertheless.
Following the game, Klopp responded to questions about the judgement by saying, “It’s harsh, this shouldn’t have been a red card.”
“It’s a mistake, and playing 40 minutes with 10 men is already a punishment enough,” the coach said. We must speak with the authorities.
There was contact, but it happens frequently in sports. Nobody would point out that they should take another look at something if he issued a yellow card.
We’ll probably talk about it again because of how frequently I’ve already been questioned about it.
When I questioned Macca, he responded, “He touched him, but not really.” There are no other boxes checked aside contact if we have a list of things you need to do to get a red card.
