Liverpool midfielder Fabinho SHOULD have been sent off for his horror tackle during the Reds' FA Cup exit to Brighton.
Referees’ bosses have now clarified the decision when Fabinho escaped with a yellow card for his challenge on Seagulls striker Evan Ferguson.
The PGMOL - the Professional Game Match Officials Board - have made it clear that the tackle warranted a VAR intervention and potential red card. Referee David Coote only booked Fabinho while VAR Neil Swarbrick also did not intervene during the FA Cup tie on Sunday.
