Trevoh Chalobah has taken aim at referee Stuart Attwell following Naby Keita’s tackle on him during the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
Midway through the second half and Keita collided with Chalobah in the middle of the pitch as the two competed for a bouncing ball.
Replays seemed to suggest that K eita went in studs up on Chalobah, with the Liverpool midfielder also missing the ball and just taking out the 22-year-old.
Referee Attwell initially waved play on with Liverpool in possession of the ball before the game was stopped as both players remained on the ground.
Speaking on commentary in the immediate aftermath of the tackle, Gary Neville believed that although the challenge wasn’t a red card offence, it was certainly a foul.

He said: "It wasn't great from Keita. The referee got that one wrong. It wasn't a red card, but it was a foul."
While speaking post-game, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes Keita should have been sent off for the challenge as he had endangered the Chelsea midfielder.
He said: “I’m surprised nothing has been said about it. We are now looking at it but for me Kieta’s movement, he slows down.
“Then he goes for the tackle. They both go for the but Keita totally misses the ball. If you look here he totally misses the ball and hits the player really hard.
“And for me, that is endangering the opposition. Endangering the player and that should be a red card. I don’t understand that the referee didn’t see it.
“And I don’t understand at all that VAR has not seen it because this is really bad. I’m very surprised, very, very surprised.”

While both Jamie Redknapp and Jamie Carragher felt that the more they watched the challenge, the more lucky Keita was to get away with it.
And reacting to the conversation between all three pundits, Chalobah took to Twitter to take aim at Attwell and revealed the challenge left him needing stitches.
He wrote: “Had to get stitches because of this. Referee is right there I don’t get it??”
