You are allowed to make a mistake at this club without immediately getting fined.
Ekitike scored the winning goal in the 85th minute but received a second yellow card for removing his shirt, resulting in a red card and a suspension for the Premier League match against Crystal Palace.
Ekitike joined Liverpool from Eintracht this summer and has scored 5 goals with 1 assist in 8 appearances this season. Liverpool lead the Premier League after five rounds with 15 points. The next game is September 27.
