Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitiké was quick to sheepishly apologise for collecting a second yellow card against Southampton which his manager Arne Slot angrily described as “stupid.”
The overeager Frenchman replaced Alexander Isak at half-time in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday after Liverpool’s record signing nabbed his first goal for the club. Ekitiké was booked within eight minutes of his introduction after throwing the ball in frustration at the award of a free kick, yet forgot all about that half an hour later.
