‘Cute and clever’ – Keith Andrews questions Jeremy Jacquet’s role in red card against Liverpool

Brentford manager Keith Andrews questioned the actions of Liverpool's Jeremy Jacquet following Yehor Yarmoliuk's red card during Brentford's 2-1 defeat on Saturday. Yarmoliuk was dismissed in first-half stoppage time after a pitchside monitor review ruled he made a head-butting motion toward Jacquet. Andrews noted that while Yarmoliuk must do better, Liverpool acted cleverly and Jacquet intentionally walked toward the Brentford player rather than the ball.

Brentford led through a Keane Lewis-Potter header before Yarmoliuk's dismissal changed the match's momentum. Liverpool capitalized on the advantage with second-half goals from Victor Munoz and Alexander Isak to secure the victory. Brentford eventually finished the match with nine players after captain Vitaly Janelt picked up a second yellow card in late stoppage time.
