The panel concluded that the 2^nd tackle on Udogie was not enough for Liverpool’s forward to get a 2^nd yellow card from official Simon Hooper.

A vote was concluded as 3 of the panel voted in favor of the 2^nd yellow card, which was a wrong decision, but 2 agreed with the booking.

The panel has 5 members, 3 ex-players and managers, 1 from the Premier League, and 1 from PGMOL.

Jurgen Klopp also claimed that Jota didn’t deserve a 2^nd yellow card as the Reds head coach also didn’t agree with both red cards.
