Andrew Robertson has warned "silly" Hugo Ekitike he must learn quickly after his red card nearly cost Liverpool a place in the League Cup.

Alexander Isak scored his first goal for the Reds on the stroke of half-time, but the Frenchman came off the bench to net the winning goal after Shea Charles equalised in the 76th minute.

It was another huge goal for Ekitike, but the striker almost undid his hard work by taking his shirt off in celebration.



He forgot he had already been booked earlier in the game for kicking the ball away in frustration, resulting in him being shown a second yellow card, followed by a red.

Team-mate and fellow summer signing Jeremie Frimpong was wide-eyed with fury as he watched Ekitike remove his top.

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

Ekitike's red card means he will be suspended for Liverpool's next Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.

He will be a huge miss against the Eagles, who are the only other team in the division to still be enjoying an unbeaten start to the new Premier League campaign.

It could mean Slot will be forced to start Isak for the first time in the Premier League.
