Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi reacts as Liverpool star Fabinho told he deserved red card

Roberto De Zerbi refused to blame Liverpool midfielder Fabinho after he injured Brighton's young striker Evan Ferguson in the FA Cup meeting between the two Premier League sides.

Brazil midfielder Fabinho had come off the bench just moments before going through the back of Ferguson, catching the 18-year-old on his heel. The Liverpool man was immediately shown a yellow card by referee David Coote and VAR checked the foul but opted not to upgrade it to a red.

Ferguson was shown walking down the tunnel after being substituted off for Deniz Undav, and Brighton will hope he isn't missing for too long. The Irish youngster has only completed a full 90 minutes for his club once, but already has four senior goals to his name including an equaliser against Leicester in the Seagulls' last Premier League game.
