Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says his side has suffered enough following the dismissal of Alexis Mac Allister against Bournemouth and believes the red card should be rescinded.

The summer signing from Brighton was sent off following a foul on Ryan Christie just before the hour after which Wataru Endo climbed off the bench to make his debut for the club in their 3-1 home win.

Mac Allister is set to face a three-game suspension including next week’s away league game at Newcastle United.

“It’s harsh, this shouldn’t have been a red card,” said Klopp.

“It’s a mistake and the punishment of playing 40 minutes with 10 men is already punishment enough. We have to talk to the authorities.

“There was contact but there is contact in a game all the time. If he gives a yellow card nobody would say, ‘by the way you need to have another look at that’.

“The amount of times I’ve already been asked about it shows it is worth discussing again, which we will probably do.

“I asked Macca and he said ‘he touched him, but not really’. If we have a list of points of what you need to give a red card, besides contact there’s no other box ticked.”
