Bobby Clark was involved in a second-half scuffle with Ajax U19s star Oualid Agouigil after the youngster appeared to come out in defence of teammate Melkamu Frauendorf.
Only the latter two players received a booking from the official, however, according to updates from uefa.com, despite Barry Lewtas confirming that a punch had been thrown (as was relayed in a tweet by Neil Jones).
Ah that's unfortunate for Liverpool. Sub David Kalokoh, smashes in a shot which deflects off Luke Chambers past Luke Hewitson off
A right old kick-off afterwards involving Bobby Clark and Oualid Agouigil. Barry Lewtas says a punch was thrown. Yellow card each.
3-1 Ajax#LFC

Whilst it’s good to see the 17-year-old sticking up for his fellow Liverpool star we’ve no doubt conversations will be had about controlling emotions as part of his personal development going forward.
We want our lads to stand united together but not at the cost of a potential sending-off if an incident becomes too heated.
