Liverpool’s tallest player, Peter Crouch, lost his head after being provoked and kicked twice by Mikel John Obi, who he tackled just to receive a red card in the game against Chelsea for the Carlin Cup’s quarter finals.
The Reds coach Rafa Benitez supports Crouch stating that the referee wasn’t paying attention to the intentional aggression against him.
"That is the reason Crouch lost his head. If the referee blows his whistle before, you avoid the sending off." He said.
The game resulted in a loss for the reds and Crouch’s expulsion was determining for the final score of 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.
The Reds went out of the field with a taste of disappointment as they got disqualified in final stages and leaved Petr Chech’s arc intact.
It was a defining game for both teams who came from losing their previous games for the Premier League, Chelsea to Arsenal and The Reds against Manchester United.
Another important fact to mention is that Chelsea was missing John Terry who is suffering of a three broken bone injury on his right foot and Liverpool didn’t had starter (and captain) Steven Gerrard who was suffering of stomach problems.
Chelsea are the title defenders and we might seeing them playing against Arsenal at the finals in repetition of last season's championship game.
