Plenty of fans think Trent Alexander-Arnold was lucky to not be sent off early on against Newcastle.
Referee John Brooks gave the free-kick but decided against sending the player off, much to the frustration of Newcastle fans and Eddie Howe.Jurgen Klopp screamed at Newcastle assistant Jason Tindall and told him to sit down as things got a little spicy on the touchline.But the general consensus was that the referee 'bottled' sending off Alexander-Arnold as plenty think he would have been given a yellow had he not already been booked.
One wrote:"Alexander Arnold escapes the most obvious red card you’ll ever see because the ref bottled it and didn’t want to book him twice in quick succession."A second said:"Blatant cynical foul by Trent Alexander-Arnold there… of course Liverpool get favoured and he escapes the 2nd yellow."Another expressed their view, writing:"Absolutely lucky Trent didn’t get a red there.
Things didn't get any better for Alexander-Arnold, as he produced the error that lead to Newcastle's opener.He badly miscontrolled a pass from Mo Salah and allowed Gordon to dart in behind and slot through Alisson Becker's legs for the opener.
