[Video] Did Reina Really Deserve To Be Sent Off For This ‘Headbutt’?
Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina was sent off late on during the Reds 2-0 defeat to Newcastle on Sunday after an apparent head butt. But did he deserve to go?
Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina was sent off late on during the Reds 2-0 defeat to Newcastle on Sunday. The stopper was adjudged to have head-butted James Perch after the defender seemed to clip the Spaniards foot in the area.
Reina certainly over-reacted and there was a little coming together, but did he really deserve to be sent off? Reina’s head does move towards Perch but he doesn’t really catch him, and there is even a doubt whether he touched him at all. Take a look and judge for yourself. Should he have gone for this?
