Brentford midfielder Yehor Yarmolyuk faced a red card for violent conduct against Liverpool defender Jeremy Jacquet during a crucial moment in the match. The incident occurred in first-half stoppage time with Brentford leading Liverpool 1-0, thanks to Lewis Keane-Potter’s header.

The pivotal moment unfolded as both teams prepared for a corner kick. Referee John Brooks was alerted to the situation when Jacquet went down in the box, holding his face. Following a VAR review, Brooks determined that Yarmolyuk had committed a headbutting action towards Jacquet, leading to his dismissal.

Key points include:

• Yarmolyuk was sent off for a “headbutt action.”
• Liverpool did not receive a penalty as the ball was not in play during the incident.
• The match saw two VAR interventions, including an overturned penalty decision for Liverpool earlier in the game.

This incident mirrors a recent occurrence at Old Trafford where Rodrigo Bentancur was similarly sent off for a headbutt against Luke Shaw. The match continued with Brentford down to ten men, but the referee confirmed that the corner kick would proceed for Liverpool.
