Liverpool defeated Leicester in the League Cup on penalties. The terrible foul by Tyler Morton should have been punished with red.
Leicester loses second goal party in just a week! Only the 3: 4 against Liverpool in the League Cup quarter-finals. Then the 3: 6 on Boxing Day against Premiere League leader Manchester City.
Bitter: Against the “Reds”, the “Foxes” lost another defender due to an injury. Coach Brendan Rodgers go out of defenders. After Jonny Evans, Wesley Fofana, James Justin and Caglar Soyüncü, Ricardo Pereira caught it during the week.
The Portuguese broke his leg!
He reported on Instagram after Christmas, surprised his followers with this statement: “I was lucky!” Pereira is happy not to have suffered another cruciate ligament rupture after this horror tackle by Tyler Morton. In 2020 he was put out of action for such a long time.
Pereira is furious that the only 19-year-old Morton only saw the yellow card for this dangerous entry. Indeed, given the pictures of the incident, the referee’s decision is incomprehensible.
Jürgen Klopp has also come under fire from the incident on the island. Last week he was publicly disgusted with Premier League referee Paul Tierney because Tottenham’s Harry Kane had not redeemed after an overly hard boarding. Where are Klopp and Morton’s apologies now? This is the question, for example, posed by the British “Sun”, which suspects double standards.
Pereira probably agrees. He writes: “My season could have been over. For some, that’s probably yellow …”
