Jacquet was 'cute and clever' for his part in Yarmoliuk red - Andrews

Brentford took the lead through Keane Lewis-Potter at the Gtech Community Stadium, but Yehor Yarmoliuks red card before half-time changed the game; If you look at where Jacquet is walking, hes not looking at the ball, is he? Hes walking in to Yarmo - Bees boss Keith Andrews

Brentford head coach Keith Andrews felt Jeremy Jacquet was "cute and clever" for his role in Yehor Yarmoliuk's red card in the 2-1 defeat to Liverpool.

Ukraine international Yarmoliuk was sent off in the eighth minute of first-half stoppage time at the Gtech Community Stadium for catching Jacquet with what referee John Brooks called - after going to the VAR monitor - "a headbutting action".

The Reds defender went to ground in the box - but Andoni Iraola's men were not awarded a penalty as a corner on the left-hand side had not yet been delivered.

"We need to look at ourselves first, which we always do. We don't really tend to look at what part they played within the incident," said Andrews in his post-match press conference.

"I do think they were cute, clever - but Yarmo needs to do better, so I can understand why it was a red."
