Virgil van Dijk, the captain for Liverpool, was given a one-game suspension for his behavior after getting a red card against Newcastle.
The Netherlands international was also fined £100,000 for using profanity and refused to leave the field after receiving a red card for his actions.
Liverpool won 2-1 at St. James’ Park on August 27, but not before a long delay caused by video review of the foul committed on Alexander Isak in the first half.
Match Officials: Sky Sports covered the event since it was so noteworthy. This week’s episode of Mic’d Up included a breakdown of Brooks’s on-field interaction with his officials by Howard Webb, head of the Professional Game Match Officials.
While everyone waited for a verdict, Brooks was overheard saying to Van Dijk, “I’ll tell you, but you need to go immediately if you need to go.”It’s obviously a foul, so they’re simply double-checking the spot… Avoid making any illogical moves.
When the referee showed the red card, Brooks said, “Free-kick. Go, go. Van Dijk was told to “Go now,” to which he responded, “F***ing joke.”
After admitting to a Football Association accusation of behaving improperly and using disrespectful comments to a match official, the ban of the Dutch central defender was doubled from one game to the whole home triumph over Aston Villa last weekend.
This means that on September 16, the team will be without Van Dijk when they travel to face Wolves.
On Sunday, August 27, Liverpool played Newcastle in a Premier League match, and the FA released a statement saying that Virgil van Dijk had been banned for one game and fined £100,000 for breaking FA Rule E3.1.An independent regulatory body issued the punishments after the defender confessed he had behaved inappropriately and used abusive and disrespectful language against a match referee after being sent off in the 29th minute.
