Slot ruthlessly subs Kerkez off after 37 minutes in first half disasterclass

Milos Kerkez had a day to forget at Burnley after he was hooked by his manager just 37 minutes in to avoid being sent off.

The Liverpool left back was walking a tightrope after he was booked for diving by referee Michael Oliver.

As he continued to struggle in the minutes that followed, Reds boss Arne Slot saw enough to pull him out of the action and replace him with Andrew Robertson after 37 minutes.

'I think that's good management from Slot,' former Liverpool defender and Sky Sports commentator Jamie Carragher said.

'What Kerkez did in the first half - with the booking - was ridiculous.'
