Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher admits Raheem Sterling was fortunate to escape dismissal in victory over Swansea City.

The Liverpool star was seen appearing to swing an arm towards the face of Swansea defender Federico Fernandez.

Carragher told the Daily Mail: "I think he [Sterling] was lucky. Fernandez was tight and aggressive and earlier on in the night Sterling was frustrated with his tackling.

"'He gives a push then Fernandez gives Sterling a clip with the left hand before Sterling throws his hand, it's not a punch, but we've seen people sent off for things like this."
