Andreas Pereira made to sure to milk contact with Virgil van Dijk and get the Dutchman booked in the first-half of Liverpool’s Carabao Cup clash with Fulham.
The visitors surprised Jurgen Klopp’s men by taking the lead via former Chelsea wide man Willian following a rare error from our No.4.
David Coote, sadly, (though not entirely unpredictably) was fooled by the 28-year-old’s playacting and the skipper went into the book for his troubles.
Refereeing at the standards we’ve come to expect!

May have been an overreaction but it was definite foul and probably a booking. Really not sure why Virgil decided to push his hand into his face seeing as he’s about three times as big and would have won the ball pretty easily. Was pretty daft.
Where is your dignity? a fullgrown man should not behave as a 3 year old. Shame on you!
