Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk described Tony Harrington as ‘nervous’ but insisted the referee could not be blamed for the Reds dropping points against Fulham.

Arne Slot’s side salvaged a 2-2 draw after having Andy Robertson sent off in the 17th minute.

Robertson was dismissed after Liverpool felt Issa Diop should have seen red for a challenge on the left-back.



The Dutchman claims that the official struggled to communicate with Robertson while sending him off.

Van Dijk told Premier League Productions: "I had conversations with the players of Fulham and we felt like the referee was nervous.

He couldn't properly communicate with Robertson I felt.

It shouldn't be a big thing because he isn't why we dropped points.”

Harrington has strong experience in the Premier League.

Chelsea, who are five points below Liverpool in the Premier League table, face Brentford tomorrow (Sunday) evening.
