Jamie Carragher hits out at 'embarrassing' Liverpool star's attempt to get rival Aston Villa player sent off: 'He does that every game'

Jamie Carragher had little time for Alexis Mac Allister’s ’embarrassing’ attempt to see Aston Villa rival Ezri Konsa handed his marching orders during Liverpool’s testy Premier League clash on Friday evening. 

Chasing Villa’s 2-1 lead, Mac Allister tussled with Konsa off the ball, going down clutching his face after the defender had grabbed his shirt. 

After VAR had checked for violent conduct and cleared the Villa star, Carragher had a short shrift for the Argentina player, accusing him of trying to draw similar fouls ‘every game’. 

‘He does that every game. Embarrassing,’ Carragher said on Sky Sports as Mac Allister writhed on the turf. ‘Get him up. 

‘I’d be embarrassed if they sent Konsa off for that.’ 

Liverpool’s night went from bad to worse shortly after the incident, with Youri Tielemans scoring just moments after to make it 3-1.
