Jacquet was 'cute and clever' for his part in Yarmoliuk red - Andrews

Brentford manager Keith Andrews praised Jeremy Jacquet’s role in Yehor Yarmoliuk’s red card after Liverpool’s 2-1 win at the Gtech Community Stadium, calling the defender “cute and clever” for his involvement in the incident. Yarmoliuk was sent off in the eighth minute of stoppage time in the first half after VAR confirmed he had headbutted Jacquet, though no penalty was awarded as the corner had not yet been completed.

Andrews acknowledged the decision was fair but emphasized his team’s focus on their own performance, while also expressing pride in Yarmoliuk’s development despite the setback. The Bees also lost Vitaly Janelt to a second yellow card late on, finishing the match with nine players after goals from Victor Muñoz and Alexander Isak sealed Liverpool’s victory.

Andrews defended his players’ emotional intensity, noting their passion as a key part of Brentford’s identity, even when it leads to frustration over referee decisions.
