Rebeca Tavares sends two-word red message to Alexis Sanchez after Fabinho foul in Liverpool v Inter Milan

Fabinho’s wife Rebeca Tavares sent a message to Alexis Sanchez following his tackle on the Liverpool midfielder.

Shortly after Inter Milan had taken the lead against the Reds in the Champions League last-16 second-leg clash at Anfield, Sanchez received a second yellow for a high challenge on Fabinho .

Referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz wasted little time in making the decision, which was then followed by a red card for Inter's assistant boss Massimiliano Farris after he made his complaints known.

And Tavares took to social media to share her frustration after Sanchez had committed the foul on her husband.

On Twitter, the ex-Monaco footballer wrote, 'bye Alexis', accompanied by an angry emoji.

Though Arturo Vidal was another opposition player to protest the decision, former Arsenal and Manchester United forward Sanchez could have few complaints about his dismissal.

The 33-year-old had been handed a debatable yellow card for a first-half tackle on Thiago Alcantara, which caught the Spanish international around the knee.

Starting for Simone Inzaghi’s side, Sanchez had initially looked impressive in the first half of the game but handed Liverpool an advantage, with just under 30 minutes to play.

Despite winning the second leg at Anfield, the Italian champions could not find a second goal to level the scores on aggregate, with Liverpool advancing to the quarter-finals as 2-1 winners.
