Arne Slot and Andy Robertson agree on Hugo Ekitike red card as Liverpool star embarrassed


Robertson insists the Liverpool summer signing 'won't do it again', before criticising the Frenchman for earning an unnecessary suspension that will prevent him from playing in this weekend's Premier League trip to the unbeaten Crystal Palace.



"I'd be very surprised if he does it again," Robertson told Sky Sports.



"I think scoring a goal is always emotional and you always get that emotion, but he's obviously just forgot he's been booked.

"His first one is stupidity, kicking the ball away, we know the rules around that.

Two silly bookings to pick up and now we miss him for Saturday, so it's silly from his part but he's only young and he will learn from it.

"Happy that he scored but the last ten minutes were made a bit more difficult being down to ten men.

He will learn from it and I am sure he won't do it again."

Similarly, manager Slot told Sky Sports: "I think it's also stupid if you haven't had a yellow card yet.

If I outplayed three players, which I never did, and hit it in the top corner maybe you can 'this is all about me!'

"If I had to score a goal like he did tonight, I would've turned around and walked up to Federico Chiesa to say: 'It's all about you Federico, great assist, great run.

It can sometimes be emotional when you score a goal in that moment.
