Overview

• Hugo Ekitike was sent off for a second yellow after removing his shirt to celebrate a late Carabao Cup winner against Southampton.
• The red card triggers a suspension that rules the Liverpool striker out of Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace.
• Arne Slot called the act "stupid" and "needless," said Ekitike apologized to team-mates, and confirmed he was spoken to but not fined.
• Rooney said the display of emotion was welcome in a competition often short on intensity, even as he acknowledged the decision was unwise on a booking.
• With Ekitike unavailable, Alexander Isak is likely to start at Selhurst Park, with the Frenchman having scored five times in eight appearances this season.
