'Barely a foul' - Carra criticises 'shocking' Gravenberch red card decision

Liverpool’s Ryan Gravenberch was sent off in the 37th minute of their 0-3 Premier League defeat to Manchester City, sparking a dramatic turnaround in the game. The Dutch winger received a straight red card after accumulating two yellows—first for a minor foul on Elliot Anderson shortly after kickoff, then for a second caution in a challenge on Jeremy Doku when the score remained locked at 0-0.

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher criticized the decision as overly harsh, noting the first yellow was for a non-contact incident and questioning the referee’s judgment in awarding it based on perceived injury rather than foul severity. Erling Haaland capitalized immediately, scoring two minutes later, before Doku doubled City’s lead within six minutes, and Rayan Cherki sealed the victory with a third goal before halftime.
