MASCHERANO WAS SENT OFF FOR NOTHING

Mascherano picked up his second yellow card just prior to half time, thus leaving Liverpool to struggle for more than half the match with 10 men.

The Argentine received his marching orders after questioning referee Steve Bennett's decision to book Fernando Torres for dissent.

Television footage clearly showed that Mascherano had merely asked Bennett "what's happening", however the official deemed this sufficient to dismiss the midfielder.

"I do not know why I was sent off," blasted the former West Ham man.

"I asked the referee what was happening. I did not swear, I was not aggressive and I did not confront him.

"All I did was ask him what was happening, nothing else.

"So when he showed me the second yellow card and sent me off I could not believe it.

"I am sorry to my teammates because that meant we went down to 10 men and that made things even more difficult for us."

Liverpool went on to lose the game at Old Trafford 3-0, a result that leaves Man Utd strong favourites to retain their Premier League title.
