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'.

Neymar Jr. sparks financial speculation after flying Santos FC teammates to Argentina on private jet
Atletico Madrid have vented their fury at their Champions League exit at the behaviour of both Arsenal's players and the refereeing team at the Emirates behind the scenes‚ according to reports in Spain. Diego Simeone's men were knocked out of the tournament against a torrid backdrop in north London‚ with the Argentine manager's rage boiling over to the extent that he pushed Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta at full-time. But the long-serving Atletico head coach opted to keep a cooler head in his post-match press conference‚ claiming that he did not want to give 'excuses' for the 1-0 away defeat.
Who is Martin Ojeda‚ the Argentine player for Orlando City who scored a hat trick against Leo Messi?
Arsenal's set-piece practices are routinely attributed to the dark arts. A brawl in the box‚ some would conclude. Diego Simeone's manual of deviousness‚ though‚ is a different level of chicanery. He is a pioneer of the craft‚ tracing back to his playing days. Just ask David Beckham‚ who was on the end of his antics at the 1998 World Cup‚ sent off for kicking the Argentina midfielder; Simeone later said he simulated an injury to get Beckham sent off. This sort of outlook is why Arsenal must be on red alert for a hostile battle in Atletico Madrid's backyard for Wednesday night's Champions League semi-final first leg‚ which will test as much about their mental fortitude‚ as their playing abilities.
Garnacho fell out with United on a number of occasions when his time at Old Trafford was coming to an end‚ perhaps most famously with former manager Ruben Amorim when he was berated in front of the first team squad. Now at Chelsea‚ the Argentine has opened up on his regret at how his time at the club ended‚ but that hasn't stopped Butt offering his views on the winger from when they worked together at United. Speaking on The Good‚ The Bad & The Football‚ Butt insisted Garnacho's attitude was a problem from when he joined the club as a teenager - and that he should have been humbled by someone at the club as he made his way through the ranks due to his attitude.
Michael Carrick furiously hit out at the decision to send off Lisandro Martinez after Leeds boosted their survival hopes with a famous win at Old Trafford last night. Manchester United lost at home to their bitter rivals in the league for the first time since 1981 as Noah Okafor struck twice to clinch a 2-1 victory. But Carrick was raging that VAR official John Brooks advised referee Paul Tierney to go to the monitor in the second half after spotting Martinez pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin 's hair. The Argentine was shown a straight red card on his comeback and will now be banned for three games.
Tottenham captain Cristian Romero is out for the remainder of the Premier League season but could recover in time to feature for Argentina at the World Cup. The Tottenham captain tearfully hobbled off during Spurs' dismal 1-0 defeat against Sunderland on Sunday‚ having suffered a knee injury after a collision with team-mate Antonin Kinsky. Romero appeared distraught and was consoled by team-mates as he was substituted off with injury‚ perhaps conscious that he could play no further part in Tottenham's relegation battle and would likely miss Argentina's World Cup defence this summer.
Cristian Romero has been criticised by former England goalkeeper Ben Foster after he left the pitch in tears during Tottenham's catastrophic 1-0 defeat against Sunderland. The Argentine defender‚ 27‚ hobbled off the pitch midway through the second half with a suspected knee injury after colliding with his own goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky. The defeat left Spurs in the relegation zone with six games remaining‚ after West Ham's emphatic 4-0 win over Wolves on Friday night.
