Lallana sent off for Liverpool’s Under-23 side

Adam Lallana has been sent off for Liverpool’s Under-23 side this evening for violent conduct.

The England international started in the club’s youth fixture against Tottenham Hotspur. He was included in the starting line-up as Jurgen Klopp aims to help him get back to full fitness, with the possibility of an U23 match aiding his rehabilitation.

However, Lallana encountered a moment of sheer madness and was sent off for an incident involving Spurs midfielder George Marsh. Lallana is shown to go down under an aerial challenge from the Tottenham youngster, before grabbing him around the neck in an aggressive manner.

This led to the referee giving the ex-Southampton man his marching orders in what was a simply embarrassing turn of events.

Lallana played only 63 minutes of the match before he was sent off.
