Sending Ahmed Elmohamady off was correct decision - Mike Phelan

LIVERPOOL, England -- Hull City caretaker manager Mike Phelan had no complaints about Ahmed Elmohamady's dismissal in his side's 5-1 defeat at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.

Elmohamady was given a straight red card in the 29th minute when he deliberately handled Philippe Coutinho's goal-bound effort in the area when Liverpool were 1-0 up.

James Milner converted the spot kick and Jurgen Klopp's side made the most of their one-man advantage by running out easy winners.

Hull found themselves down to 10 men for the second consecutive week, with Jake Livermore having been given his marching orders for handling the ball in the home loss to Arsenal last weekend.
