"I think having to play the game with 10 men for the last 15-20 minutes was unbelievably harsh on us," Crystal Palace head coach Roy Hodgson told TNT Sports after his team's 2-1 loss to Liverpool.
"I don’t believe it was worthy. I don’t think we deserved nine yellow cards, I probably deserved mine.
"He’s [Ayew] been on four yellow cards for three games, he’s shown incredible discipline.
"Van Dijk took the opportunity to get him the first yellow card by kicking the ball against him from a few yards away. That’s very disappointing.
"I think if you’re Liverpool, you do not need players of Van Dijk’s quality and status in the game trying to get a player a yellow card for kicking the ball against him.
"The second [yellow] I thought was a good challenge. Even if it was deemed a foul, which it could be, it wasn’t a yellow card."
Liverpool managed to turn the game around after Jordan Ayew's red card, scoring twice after 75 minutes of the game.
The Reds can have some grievances after the match as well, mainly concerning the manner in which Palace were awarded a penalty — even though Quansah probably made that foul.
