Hugo Ekitike will miss Liverpool's next match after being shown a red card in the Carabao Cup against Southampton.

The French forward collected a second yellow card after taking his shirt off in celebration as he put the Reds back into the lead at Anfield.

Ekitike's first yellow card was equally as unnecessary as he punched a ball away in frustration at a decision early in the second half, shortly after coming on the pitch at the break.



The forward will now miss Liverpool's match against Crystal Palace.
