Robertson's Misery

After the match resumed, the tempo of both attack and defense rose another level.

In the 37th minute, Liverpool attacked.

Keita wanted to find Perisic, but his pass was a little too heavy.

But the Croatian had no intention of giving up. He chased the ball desperately, and just as it seemed he would not reach it, he threw his entire body forward!

Ederson had already positioned himself in front of goal, waiting for the ball to fly straight into his arms.

By the time Perisic realized where Ederson was standing, he could no longer stop himself.

He had tried his best to pull his leg back, but momentum still carried both him and the ball crashing into the onrushing Ederson!

Bang...!

Ederson was sent crashing heavily onto the turf.

The whistle sounded again.

"No, no, no... sir, I didn't mean to do it. I pulled my foot back..."

When he saw that the referee had pulled out a yellow card, he breathed a sigh of relief before turning to check on Ederson.

"Perisic really went all out for that ball."

"But it's understandable. It's his first start for the team, and in such an important match too. Of course he wants to prove himself."

Fortunately, after being examined by the team doctor, Ederson got back to his feet. He appeared to be fine and had not suffered an injury.

The match soon resumed.
