"Virgil immediately went inside to speak to him, to talk to him. That tells me they are great human beings. In a moment like this -- when a young player, for the second time, is sent off -- they felt how difficult the moment was. They [went] inside to be supporting for him.

Amara Nallo, 18, received a second red card in his second senior appearance for Liverpool, meaning two dismissals in a combined 16 minutes of professional play.

He was substituted on in the 67th minute against Crystal Palace and dismissed in the 79th minute for a foul on Justin Devenny. Virgil van Dijk consoled Nallo after the sending-off. Jamie Redknapp called the inclusion of inexperienced youngsters "a mistake," while Arne Slot defended resting key players to avoid injuries.
