January 31, “Daily Mirror” reported that England professional competition referee company admitted that Liverpool
Fabinho should have been sent off in the FA Cup against Brighton.
In the 4th round of the FA Cup, Liverpool lost 1-2 to Brighton and missed the next round.
In the 85th minute of the game, Fabinho kicked twice from behind and brought down the opposing player Duncan Ferguson.
Among them, the sole of the second foot stepped on Ferguson’s heel. After lying on the ground for a long time, Ferguson was unable to persist and was replaced.
The on-duty referee Kurt only gave Fabinho a yellow card, and the VAR referee did not intervene.
England’s professional match refereeing company now admits that VAR should have intervened in the decision and expected to show Fabinho a red card.
