Pogba sent off after Keita horror challenge

Pogba sent off after Keita horror challenge

Paul Pogba was sent off on the hour mark following a horror challenge on Naby Keita, as Liverpool embarrassed Manchester United at Old Trafford with a 5-0 drubbing on Sunday.

The Frenchman, who started the game on the bench and was brought on as a second-half substitute, was dismissed following a VAR check after a tackle that left his opponent needing to be stretchered off the field.

It marked another dark moment in a tough day for the Red Devils, after goals for Keita, Diogo Jota and a Mohamed Salah hat-trick left Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under huge pressure at the Theatre of Dreams.

After Keita had opened the floodgates for a first half drubbing sure to go down in infamous Premier League history for United supporters, Pogba - surprisingly benched ahead of the game - was brought on at the interval.

Yet his role was to be a brief cameo, brought to an abrupt end when he lunged for the ball near the visitors' box after around a quarter-hour of action and instead made contact with the Liverpool man's lower ankle.
