West Ham fans are furious after West Ham star Lucas Paqueta received a “ridiculous” red card against Liverpool.
The Brazilian was easily shown two yellow cards, the second of which was challenged after he continued to challenge the referee despite attempts by his West Ham team-mates, Liverpool’s Alisson Becker and others to pull him away.
However, Paqueta refused to back down and was eventually shown a second yellow and then a red card.
The player later apologized to fans on social media and blamed the FA for his foolish actions.
Paqueta’s sending off left West Ham supporters furious, with fans online noticing the midfielder’s suspicious behavior, leading to accusations that Paqueta had wanted him sent off.
