Liverpool veteran Steven Gerrard had earlier been sent off for a stamp on Ander Herrera, the club captain being red carded within a minute of coming on as a half-time sub, and it’s likely Skrtel could receive a sizable ban for his actions.
The Slovakian has until Tuesday at 6pm to respond to the charge, but as is always the case those on Twitter have already their say on the matter:
Sound. So it looks like Skrtel will get a 3 match ban. Awful day that yesterday for many reasons. #LFC
