As Liverpool fans were pictured holding a banner with “imagine being us” written, in the stadium during the match with Brighton & Hove Albion, the video of Fabinho ankle tackle/foul on Ferguson left many with suspicion why no red card was given, despite VAR review.
A picture of Liverpool fans hoisting a banner with the inscription “IMAGINE BEING US” in the stadium during their match with Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday was a testament to their defeat.
Liverpool lost 2-1 to Brighton & Hove Albion and was lucky not to end the game with a red card to Fabinho.
Midfielder Fabinho who came into the game as an 85th-minute substitute played a remarkably foul on Evan Ferguson.
His rough tackle left Ferguson with an ankle injury and he was taken out of the field as a result.
Although Referee David Coote gave Fabinho a yellow card, he was exceptionally lucky or what when the VAR reviewed the incident, probably to upgrade it to a red card, but after their careful analysis, he was also not found wanting by the red community.
The VAR’s decision not to penalize Fabinho with a red card was a surprise to many.
The red card would have prevented him from playing in Liverpool’s next three matches.

Here is a video of the moment Fábio Henrique Tavares struck Evan Ferguson on the ankle, resulting in him sustaining an injury an taken out of the match.
Liverpool is yet to show signs of changing their track of poor performance as they sit in 9th place in the Premier League table. They have only won just one of their last five games in all competitions, with that win coming in the third-round replay of the FA Cup against the Wolves.
