Liverpool fans are being treated to a remarkable game at Anfield during tonight’s Champions League group tie against Atletico Madrid.
Currently leading the important group game two nill, thanks to Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane goals, Jurgen Klopp now finds his side a man up, too.
A few minutes before the half-time break, defender Felipe was seen preventing Mane from initiating a counter-attacker – after bringing the African down and refusing to go to referee Danny Makkelie to collect his booking, the Dutch official wasted no time in issuing the Brazilian with a sent red card.
A contentious red card at Anfield! ?
