Alexis Sanchez branded "stupid" and "a cheat" after decisive red card against Liverpool

Alexis Sanchez only had himself to blame for the manner of his crucial red card against Liverpool at Anfield, according to talkSPORT's Simon Jordan.

Former Arsenal and Manchester United forward Sanchez was shown a second yellow card for a challenge on Fabinho just moments after the Chilean's Inter Milan teammate Lautaro Martinez had fired his side back into the Champions League last-16 tie.

Martinez's excellent strike from distance halved the aggregate deficit to 2-1 in Liverpool's favour, but after Sanchez's almost immediate red card the Reds were able to see out the game fairly comfortably, progressing to the quarter-finals despite losing on the night.
