'That's very disappointing' - Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk slammed for role in Jordan Ayew's red card

Ayew was shown two yellow cards and sent off while his team were leading 1-0 in the Premier League match. His first was for blocking a free kick as Van Dijk ended up hitting it off of him and then he was given a second booking for a foul.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Hodgson feels the attacker was hard done by on both counts, saying on TNT Sports: "Van Dijk took the opportunity to get him booked by kicking the ball at him from a few yards away. That's very disappointing. I think if you're Liverpool do not need players of that quality and status in the game to try to get an opposition player a yellow card by just kicking the ball against him."The second one, I thought was a good challenge. Even if it's deemed a foul, which it could be, it wasn't a yellow card. In fact, there was only one yellow card offence from our side that I would agree with and that was the one where Naouirou Ahamada at the end of the game gets frustrated and kicks a player from behind, that's a yellow card."

WHAT HODGSON SAID

Ayew's sending off immediately affected Crystal Palace as Liverpool scored the equalising goal just a minute later as Mohamed Salah fired in his 200th goal for the Reds and 150th in the Premier League. Then in stoppage time <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-crystal-palace-harvey-elliott-mohamed-salah/blt7dca633c2b28a29f" target="_blank">Harvey Elliott struck the winning goal for the away side</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Reds are on a four-game winning run and are six in a row without defeat. They will hope to maintain that form when they face Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium in their final Europa League group stage game on Thursday.
