# Liverpool fans react to Brewster booking referee in Championship clash

Rhian Brewster has made a productive start to life at Swansea City, scoring twice in his first four [appearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/336285/Show/Rhian-Brewster).

The 19-year-old [moved](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/01/07/rhian-brewster-joins-swansea-season-long-loan/) to the Championship club until the end of the season last month, following a lack of first-team opportunities at Liverpool.

Having missed over a year of action with knee and ankle [injuries](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2018/03/rhian-brewster-injury-layoff-extended-after-undergoing-second-operation/), Brewster only managed two [starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/336285/Show/Rhian-Brewster) for the Reds this season, both of which came in the Carabao Cup.

Brewster scored Swansea’s goal in Saturday’s [1-1 draw away to Preston](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51246231), but one other moment stood out from the game.

After referee Geoff Eltringham dropped his yellow card, the Liverpool youngster brilliantly picked it up and [‘booked’](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7958279/Rhian-Brewster-shows-yellow-card-referee-goalscoring-display-Preston-draw.html) him.

It brought back [memories](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/after-gazza-booked-ref-dougie-9481465) of Paul Gascoigne doing the same for Rangers back in 1995 – fortunately for Brewster, the official saw the funny side of his antics, rather than booking him, as Gascoigne was by referee Dougie Smith.

These Liverpool supporters have been loving the incident on Twitter.

> Really funny 🤣🤣🤣
