Liverpool handed fresh Andy Robertson red card referee verdict as Fulham chaos takes new twist
Liverpool were reduced to 10 men against Fulham after 17 minutes following Andy Robertson’s red card
Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher believes Andy Robertson was wrongly sent off during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Fulham. The Scotland full-back was dismissed 17 minutes into the first-half against the Cottagers for a foul on Harry Wilson.
Robertson took a loose touch allowing for the Wales international to nip in to win the ball before the 30-year-old brought the former Liverpool winger down. Referee Tony Harrington allowed play to continue which resulted in a shot from Fulham striker Raul Jimenez, an advantage which the ex-official says makes the issue more problematic.
At that time, Arne Slot’s were already behind after Andreas Pereira opened the scoring after 10 minutes but the Reds twice fought back through Cody Gakpo’s equaliser before Diogo Jota cancelled out Rodrigo Muniz’s goal 14 minutes from time.
