Liverpool fans react as Alisson sent off against Brighton

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has been sent off for the reds against Brighton for handballing outside the box.

The Brazilian was given his marching orders with 15 minutes left in the game, with backup goalkeeper Adrian coming on to replace him.

Brighton would score not long after, with Lewis Dunk getting the Seagulls back into the game.

Several Liverpool fans weren’t happy with the goalkeeper, with Alisson now suspended for the Merseyside derby.

This is a huge blow for the Reds, who will be without their first-choice goalkeeper for the huge Merseyside derby in the week.

It was a needless mistake, and one that might costs the reds next week.
