Liverpool's Mascherano has no complaints about red card

Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano had no complaints about his red card received in victory over Manchester United.

He will be suspended for Wednesday's Carling Cup tie at Arsenal, a game he may well have been rested from anyway - with Reds boss Rafa Benitez likely to field a weakened side at the Emirates.

Mascherano has no complaints against the decision.

"Maybe the referee was right to send me off. I made a mistake," he conceded. "I didn't want to touch (Edwin) Van der Sar.

"I tried to intercept a pass. But the grass was very slippy, and I used a little too much power. It was a foul, so I think I deserved a second yellow card."
