The TNT presenter claimed that Ibrahima Konate was lucky not to be shown a second yellow card during the Merseyside derby today.
Liverpool now sit at the top of the table after collecting three points against their rivals at Anfield, winning the game 2-0.
Everton were reduced to ten men in the first half when Ashley Young was shown a second yellow card for a clumsy foul on Luis Diaz.
But when faced with a very similar situation in the second half, the referee chose not to show Konate a second yellow after a cynical foul.
Immediately after the incident, Jurgen Klopp substituted the French defender.
‘I thought they were the better team but I still think they’ve been lucky in terms of decisions with Konate,’ Ferdinand said on TNT after the game, via the Daily Mail.
‘He escaped getting a second yellow card and I thought they were very fortunate in that sense.
‘I don’t think Liverpool played particularly well today, I wouldn’t say [Jordan] Pickford had a lot of saves to make.
‘This wasn’t a performance from Liverpool where you go “wow this looks like a team firing on all cylinders”.’
