WHAT HAPPENED?
There had been little to get excited about over the course of 93 minutes on Merseyside, but there was to be late drama in stoppage-time. United ended the game with 10 men after seeing Dalot dismissed by referee Michael Oliver.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
There was initial confusion as to why Dalot was being ushered from the field, but it quickly became apparent that he had collected two cautions in a matter of seconds. Dalot did not take kindly to seeing a throw-in awarded against him, with the ball flicking off Mohamed Salah’s boot before rolling out of play.
DID YOU KNOW?
Dalot contested the initial award of a throw to Liverpool, leading to a yellow immediately being flashed in his direction. The versatile Portugal international continued to air his frustration in Oliver’s direction, earning him a second caution and an unnecessary dismissal.
