Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk was on the receiving end of an egregious tackle from Anthony Gordon that resulted in a red card for the Newcastle United player.
Arne Slot’s side were building up from the back towards the end of the first half. Van Dijk was on the ball weighing his options when a charging Gordon caught him with a flying tackle. The England international went into the challenge high, contacting Van Dijk’s right calf with his studs as his momentum brought down the Dutchman.
