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."
