Liverpool boss Arne Slot has criticised Hugo Ekitike’s “stupid” red card after the striker scored the winning goal in the 2-1 victory against Southampton in the Carabao Cup.
Ekitike received his first yellow card of the afternoon, eight minutes after replacing Alexander Isak.
He was sent off after receiving his second yellow card of the evening. He will be missing saturday’s fixture against an unbeaten Crystal Palace side.
