Rio Ferdinand and Peter Crouch believe Jordan Ayew should NOT have been sent off for Crystal Palace in their 2-1 defeat to Liverpool - with the former Reds striker admitting the dismissal was a 'massive factor' in Jurgen Klopp's side's turnaround

Rio Ferdinand and Peter Crouch were united in their belief that Jordan Ayew should not have received a second yellow card in Liverpool's dramatic late win over Crystal Palace.

The pendulum of the tie swung in favour of Jurgen Klopp's side after the Ghanaian's controversial 75th-minte sending off, with the Reds grabbing the win after two late goals from Mohamed Salah and Harvey Elliot.

Ayew had received an equally iniquitous booking earlier on in the half for blocking a Liverpool free-kick and was given his marching orders after stopping an attack.
