lol at what happened in front of Chelsea goal, chaos but after a reply, ouep it is definitely a penalty, red card for James. The game might change dramatically in the second half especially after Liverpool getting the draw with Salah penalty.
Liverpool 1 - 1 Chelsea with 11 vs 10 players..

Is that a deserving red card Huh

I don’t think so. It's 1:1, bad luck for Chelsea. I just have won one of my bets but seems I won't win the other one as Chelsea is going to have played with 10 players.

Yes it is a correct red card seeing his hand position and the fact that he is the last player and prevented an imminent goal.

According to IFAB, a player that obstruct a goal scoring opportunity with the hand has committed a sent off offense. James moved his hand towards the direction of the ball. It’s a foul and the punishment was a sent off. Assuming it was just a rebound from his leg before hitting his hand, it won’t have been an offense. Although Liverpool needed that goal because they’ve been the better side in this first half. Keeping the possession, playing through the midfield and allowing their fullbacks play very high and planing many deadly attacks, thats what a good team does. Chelsea are just waiting for loose balls so they can attack through Lukaku and Havertz. They need to deploy a new tactics now since they’re now 10 men. I hope Liverpool wins.
