Liverpool 3-1 Bournemouth: Andoni Iraola admits Alexis Mac Allister was ‘unfortunate’ to receive red card

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has admitted that Alexis Mac Allister was extremely unfortunate to receive a straight red card in Saturday’s 3-1 defeat at Liverpool. The summer signing from Brighton had made an impressive start to his Reds career in last week’s 1-1 draw at Chelsea, but his home debut turned sour when he was sent off for a challenge on Ryan Christie shortly before the hour mark.

Argentine World Cup winner Mac Allister was distraught as he was ordered to leave the pitch and will now miss the upcoming games against Newcastle, Aston Villa and Wolves.

Asked if Mac Allister deserved to be sent off after the game, Iraola said: ‘I don’t know. In real life it did not look like a red card.’

The Liverpool midfielder’s dismissal was not the only controversial moment in a game in which Liverpool came from behind to win 3-1 after falling behind in the opening three minutes.

Controversial Penalty

After Luis Diaz cancelled out Antoine Semenyo’s opener, the turning point of the contest came in the 27th minute when Dominik Szoboszlai was awarded a penalty having fallen dramatically under minute contact.

‘We started well. We had a goal disallowed, we scored, we had another chance and with some mistakes from their keeper and defenders we played high but from there they improved and they pushed us,’ added Iraola. ‘We take a lot of pride in the first half. We were doing pretty well and then the penalty came. It is soft. There is contact but it is a soft, soft contact. It was not an easy game to referee. If there is contact normally they don’t ask for second opinions. It was quite clear.’

‘I think we had quite a lot of chances. We scored one, had one disallowed and at the end we had three or four clear chances and should have scored.’

Conclusion

Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Bournemouth was marred by the controversial sending off of Alexis Mac Allister, which Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola believes was an unfortunate decision. The game also saw a controversial penalty awarded to Liverpool, which ultimately proved to be the turning point of the contest. Despite this, Bournemouth had plenty of chances to score and should have done better.
