Liverpool to consider appeal against Alexis Mac Allister's red card

Liverpool are considering lodging an appeal against Alexis Mac Allister’s red card in their win against Bournemouth, after the Argentine midfielder was sent off for a mistimed but not reckless tackle on Ryan Christie.

'It is not ruthless it is just mis-hit the ball and then hit slightly the shin of the other player. We saw harsher challenges which were not a red card and this shouldn't have been. I don't know exactly what we have to do, but we should talk about it again.'

It seemed bizarre that VAR Paul Tierney did not instruct referee Thomas Bramall to consult the television monitor.

Klopp has clashed with Tierney multiple times and was given a two-match ban and fine last season for accusing him of being ‘biased’ against Liverpool.

Assistant VAR was also intriguingly Constantine Hatzidakis, who appeared to aim an elbow at Liverpool’s Andy Robertson during a match with Arsenal in April.

Iraola told BBC Match of the Day: 'I don't know. In real life it did not look like a red card.'

Mac Allister, who joined Liverpool from Brighton for £35million, was featuring for the club for just the second time.

Bournemouth opened the scoring in the third minute through Antoine Semenyo, with Luis Diaz later equalising for Liverpool.

Mohamed Salah made it 2-1 to Liverpool as he scored the rebound after his penalty was saved.

Diogo Jota added a third for Liverpool in the second half to make sure of their victory.
