‘He should ask himself…’ – Andoni Iraola told he may have made a grave error in Liverpool loss

A former Premier League referee has suggested that Andoni Iraola may have erred in not substituting Ryan Gravenberch before the midfielder was sent off in Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.

The teams were level when the Dutchman was shown a second yellow card in the 62nd minute for a foul on Jeremy Doku, having earlier been booked for catching Elliot Anderson slightly late, with Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher both feeling that those decisions were harsh .

It proved to be a game-changing moment as the visitors scored twice in the five minutes after the 24-year-old was dismissed, with Rayan Cherki later completing the victory.
