Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was not happy with match-winner Hugo Ekitike’s “stupid” red card in the 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Southampton. Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike took his shirt of to celebrate, resulting in a second yellow (Peter Byrne/PA). It left referee Thomas Bramall with option but to issue a second caution followed by the red card, meaning the Frenchman will be suspended for the Premier League leaders’ trip to Crystal Palace on Saturday. The first one was already needless and to a certain extent, stupid, as you have got to control your emotions,” said Slot. My apologies to all the Red family.”The red card was the second low point as 18-year-old debutant Giovanni Leoni, who had enjoyed a trouble-free night, was carried off on a stretcher with a serious-looking knee injury and will undergo a scan to determine the damage.
