Lineker responds to Virgil van Dijk red card as Gary Neville commentary leaves Liverpool fans fuming

Via echo

Gary Lineker has questioned why Virgil van Dijk was shown a straight red card

The Reds' centre-back was dismissed John Brooks after a foul on Alexander Isak prevented the Swedish striker from testing Alisson

A VAR check to review this decision then followed, though the final decision was taken to stick with the on-field call

Van Dijk, left in disbelief, made his feelings clear as he left the pitch

Weighing in on this controversial call, Lineker said:

"Might not be the general consensus but that looked like a very harsh red card to me. Virgil van Dijk clearly got the ball. Maybe my eyes are getting worse in my old age."
