Jamie Carragher had little time for Alexis Mac Allister's 'embarrassing' attempt to see Aston Villa rival Ezri Konsa handed his marching orders during Liverpool's testy Premier League clash on Friday evening. Chasing Villa's 2-1 lead‚ Mac Allister tussled with Konsa off the ball‚ going down clutching his face after the defender had grabbed his shirt. After VAR had checked for violent conduct and cleared the Villa star‚ Carragher had a short shrift for the Argentina player‚ accusing him of trying to draw similar fouls 'every game'.
Arne Slot's side looked to have dropped two vital points in their pursuit of a Champions League place before Alexis Mac Allister fired home in the 97th minute to earn a dramatic 1-0 win. Carragher was critical of the performance at the City Ground.
