During today’s 3-1 victory over Bournemouth, Liverpool player Alexis Mac Allister received a straight red card
After receiving a red card during Saturday’s 3-1 win against Bournemouth, Alexis Mac Allister will miss Liverpool’s next three games.
In front of a home audience at Anfield for the first time since his £35 million summer transfer from Brighton, the World Cup champion made contact with Ryan Christie that referee Thomas Bramall regarded to be reckless. As a result, the player was given a straight red card.
Due to the fact that Christie was hit with a high point of contact by Mac Allister, whose studs were raised during the VAR review, the judgment was reached to support Bramall’s on-field determination.
The No. 10 for Liverpool is now expected to miss the home games against Aston Villa (September 3) and Wolves (September 16) as well as the away game against Newcastle United on Sunday (all of which are scheduled for this coming weekend).
The standard punishment for violent or hazardous conduct that results in a straight red card is a three-match suspension, which may be increased to a more severe penalty in extreme circumstances. Aleksandar Mitrovic, a forward for Fulham, was given an eight-game suspension for assaulting referee Chris Kavanagh during an FA Cup quarterfinal match against Manchester United last year.
An expert panel will decide whether Mac Allister should have been ejected at Anfield if Liverpool choose to appeal this red card verdict with the Football Association. The FA’s attitude on ‘frivolous’ appeals, which can result in a three-game suspension being increased to a four-game suspension if the appeal is denied, must also be taken into consideration by Jurgen Klopp’s team.
However, if it is determined that there was cause for an appeal, it may be refused without the imposition of a penalty game.
