Milos Kerkez endured a nightmare afternoon against Burnley as the Liverpool defender was hauled off after merely 38 minutes by Arne Slot.
The Hungarian had been cautioned midway through the opening period for simulation - prompting the Reds' manager to act decisively in substituting the left-back following a subsequent foul.
Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher branded the defender as 'absolutely stupid' during his Sky Sports commentary following the incident, whilst Slot would later concede that the $54 million summer acquisition was 'not smart' for his theatrics.

In a contrasting scene, Mohamed Salah, who was leaving alongside the defender, couldn't help but flash a broad grin as he strolled past journalists interviewing Alisson Becker, fully aware that he wouldn't be the subject of any queries.
Meanwhile, Salah didn't miss the chance to have a bit of a laugh at the defender's expense during their trip back to Merseyside.
Kerkez dozed off on the Reds' journey home, and Salah promptly snapped a photo of the snoozing Hungarian and posted it on his Instagram story.
Salah netted a 95th-minute penalty winner for Liverpool against Burnley, but his day's work didn't end there.

So far this season, Salah has bagged two goals and provided an assist in four Premier League matches, helping propel the Reds to the top of the table with a flawless winning record.
However, despite such impressive stats, both Liverpool and the Egyptian ace are still searching for their peak form.
