Liverpool fullback Calvin Ramsay sent off in U21 defeat to Tottenham

Liverpool fullback Calvin Ramsay was sent off in the U21s defeat to Tottenham on Monday.

The Reds were edged out 2-0 in Premier League 2 action, with manager Jürgen Klopp watching on at the Academy.

Barry Lewtas' outfit were reduced to 10 men after just 23 minutes, with Ramsay shown a straight red card after match officials deemed the full-back to have halted a clear goalscoring opportunity.

Lewtas later said: "Their lad is through on goal, there is a little coming together. I've got to be honest, if it was the other way I'd probably be expecting it. It's a little bit unfortunate for Calvin in that particular moment. I'm not too sure about the red card though.

"I just felt there was a lot of inconsistencies in the game really and their second goal was part of that as well. It is what it is and maybe it just wasn't our day all round."
