The France defender was then taken off by manager Arne Slot at halftime, with the Dutchman later admitting he was concered Konate would be sent off.

Carragher, however, insisted on Sky Sports: "It is a stupid challenge by Konate but it's not a yellow card, just two players going for a header and one gets there before the other.

"I'd be surprised if Konate comes out for the second half."
