Liverpool to appeal Mac Allister sending off
Liverpool will appeal the red card awarded to Alexis Mac Allister against Bournemouth that led to the Argentine being handed a three-game suspension.
Mac Allister’s afternoon ended prematurely after his challenge on Ryan Christie was deemed to be a sending-off by referee Thomas Brammall.
While the Reds were able to subsequently extend their lead and seal the three points, the decision currently leaves the midfielder unable to return to action until the home game against West Ham on September 24.
Ex-referee Dermot Gallagher admitted that the tackle should not have been classed as a red card, you know it’s a howler when he’s not sticking up for his mates!
Jurgen Klopp hinted after the game that the club would appeal the ban, while the Cherries’ boss Andoni Iraola labelled the incident an “orange card.”
