Suspension looms for Andy Robertson after the defender received a straight red card in Liverpool's 2–2 draw with Fulham.
The Reds' sizeable gap atop the Premier League standings took a hit at the weekend when Arne Slot's men only walked away with a point against the Cottagers. Just six minutes after Andreas Pereira found the game's opening goal, Robertson was sent off by referee Tony Harrington, leaving Liverpool with ten men for over 70 minutes.
The Scotland international tried to intercept a pass meant for Harry Wilson, but he took a poor first touch that let Wilson pounce on the ball. The attacker was in front of Robertson and through on goal when he was taken down from behind with a clumsy challenge. The referee allowed play to continue before sending Robertson off.
A lengthy VAR review upheld the controversial decision and sent Robertson packing in the 17th minute. The red card was just the second of Robertson's long Premier League career.
Now, the 30-year-old is relegated to the sidelines as his team rolls through a hectic string of games to close out 2024.
