Anthony Taylor had an excellent Merseyside derby and he was absolutely right to show the yellow card to Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk for his challenge on Amadou Onana.
Taylor was in close proximity to the incident, perfectly positioned, and adjudged the challenge reckless and worthy of a caution.
It would have been checked by the VAR who was within his rights to upgrade had he wanted to, but instead agreed with the onfield referee’s decision.
For the challenge to be deemed dangerous and worthy of a red you have to look at speed and intensity of challenge, use of excessive force, and there was none of that.
