WHAT HAPPENED?
The England international defender found himself the wrong side of Reds midfielder Curtis Jones when trying to repel a first-half attack at Anfield. Colwill was always going to find it difficult to get at the ball, and ended up tripping Jones inside the box.

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING
Supporters have been quick to condemn Colwill’s actions. @GoonerKal said: “Levi Colwill went from a highly revered prospect at Brighton to a bumbling oaf at Chelsea. He is awful.”
@Trslimshady__ added: “Take off this colwill. Two reckless challenges in the space of five minutes. Is he nuts??”
The criticism continued, with @rayxkilli saying: “Colwill has no brain cells, he got away with the first one then did nonsense again.”
On a similar theme, @MannyArchived said: “Colwill gets off with one and he does it again???? He’s so stiff.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Colwill was forced to watch on helplessly as, after a long delay, Mohamed Salah made no mistake from the resulting spot-kick. Liverpool’s Egyptian talisman sent Robert Sanchez the wrong way as he crashed a penalty into the back of the net.

WHAT NEXT?
Liverpool thought they had earned another penalty in first-half stoppage-time, as Jones was sent tumbling again, but a VAR review determined that Sanchez had got to the ball first and the original on-field decision was reversed.
