It was a pulsating spectacle from start to finish and it is perhaps better to focus on the finish, despite everything that had gone before, the goals for either team and, more specifically, the two red cards for Liverpool.
Curtis Jones was the first to depart for a late tackle on Yves Bissouma in the 24th minute, a challenge that looked honest enough but increasingly bad on the replays, and Diogo Jota followed him on 69 minutes. On as a substitute for the second half, Jota was foolish to stretch into a challenge on Destiny Udogie, moments after being booked for a trip on the same player.
