Fans think Virgil van Dijk should have been sent off following his nasty-looking challenge on Amadou Onana during the goalless Merseyside derby.

Van Dijk caused a stir online after picking up just a yellow card for his tackle on Onana in the second half of the Premier League clash on Saturday.

But he escaped a red card, with match referee Anthony Taylor showing the player a yellow card.

However, people on social media believe the Dutchman should have received a red card for his poor challenge.

One tweeted: "100% red."

A second wrote: "No other player gets away with that."

A third added: "Liverpool getting away with things again. If Xhaka does that it’s a straight red."

What's your take? Let us know.
