Iraola Critiques Gravenberch's Red Card in Liverpool Loss

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola questioned the red card issued to Ryan Gravenberch during the team's 3-0 defeat to Manchester City at Anfield. Gravenberch received a second yellow card in the 62nd minute for a challenge on Jeremy Doku, leaving Liverpool with 10 players.

Iraola noted that the match changed significantly after the red card, stating, "There were two different games: one until the red card, and then one after." Prior to the dismissal, Liverpool had shown promise, creating opportunities with players like Lewis Koumas and Alexis Mac Allister. However, after Gravenberch's exit, Manchester City capitalized quickly, with Erling Haaland scoring in the 65th minute and Doku adding a second goal in the 68th minute.

Iraola also expressed his disagreement with the first yellow card given to Gravenberch for a challenge on Elliot Anderson, calling it a "normal foul.".
