Ex-ref: Liverpool player fortunate to avoid red vs Arsenal
Story updated
The story in brief
7-second readFormer Premier League referee Keith Hackett believes Liverpool's Trey Nyoni could have been sent off against Arsenal, and he deserved a yellow card at a minimum.
From the source
Following Arsenal’s 1-0 win at Anfield at the weekend, Liverpool fans were up in arms over a couple of refereeing decisions, arguing that they should have had a penalty for a shirt pull on Alexander Isak, and that Noni Madueke should have seen red for butting heads with Alexis Mac Allister.
But Arsenal have grievances of their own, including a bad foul from Liverpool’s Trey Nyoni in the very first minute of the game. Nyoni was lucky to escape the incident without a card, with former referee Keith Hackett arguing that it shouldn’t have mattered when the foul took place.
Hackett believes Nyoni was lucky not to see red, and should at least have been booked. “For me, if you like, the least amount of punishment on that is a yellow card.
