Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp claims Sadio Mane was 'unlucky' to receive a straight red for his challenge on Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes Sadio Mane was 'unlucky' to be sent off during the 5-0 defeat to Manchester City.

City goalkeeper Ederson was involved in a nasty collision with the Liverpool forward during the first half of the Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium.

The former Benfica stopper was caught in the face by a high foot from Mane, who was subsequently given a straight red card by referee Jonathan Moss.

Ederson was removed from the pitch on a stretcher after eight minutes of treatment and was taken to the nearby Manchester Institute of Health and Performance to be assessed for fractures.
