Liverpool suffered a 3-0 defeat against Manchester City in the Premier League, with former defender Jamie Carragher drawing sharp criticism toward the referee’s decision to send off Ryan Gravenberch. The incident occurred during the midweek clash, and Carragher described the call as “shocking,” noting that the challenge involved “barely a foul.”
Liverpool have now lost back-to-back league matches for the first time this season following the result at Anfield. Gravenberch exited the pitch early due to the sending-off, which shifted the momentum in City’s favor and contributed to the comprehensive loss.
Back-to-back losses is worrying, but losing Gravenberch so early really changed the game completely.
Is this the same Carragher who used to dive in? Or is he just protecting his former club’s reputation now?
10 men make everything ten times harder. Liverpool couldn’t recover from that momentum shift at all.
Honestly, it looked like barely a foul to me too. The ref was way too quick on the red card decision.
