Four minutes after entering as a substitute in the 83rd, Nallo was shown a straight red card for a professional foul as Liverpool fell to a 3-2 loss at PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday. That result didn’t prevent the Premier League leaders from finishing in first place in the new league phase in Europe’s top competition.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot backed teenager Amara Nallo to bounce back from his disappointing senior debut in which he was shown a red card just four minutes after entering the pitch.

Arne Slot says Liverpool defender Amara Nallo must learn from his “cruel” red card in Wednesday’s 3-2 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. The academy graduate’s first-team debut lasted just four minutes at Philips Stadion as he was sent off late in the second half for a professional foul on Johan Bakayoko.
