Rio Ferdinand completely disagreed with the referee’s decision to send Jordan Ayew off for a second yellow card.
Liverpool fought back once again to secure victory after their 2-1 win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Roy Hodgson’s side took the lead from the spot after the referee deemed a late challenge on Jean Phillip-Meteta as a foul.
The French striker dispatched cooly from 12 yards but the game quickly turned around after Ayew was shown a second yellow card.
Mo Salah then levelled the game moments later before Curtis Jones rifled in the winner.
Speaking on TNT Sports after the game, Ferdinand completely disagreed with sending off.

‘100% a yellow card’ said one fan.
‘Stopped a dangerous counter if it was the other way around you’d be calling for the second yellow,’ said another.
