Liverpool news: Watch Naby Keita receive red card in carbon copy of Sadio Mane sending off

NABY KEITA hit the headlines for RB Leipzig this weekend - for all the wrong reasons.

Liverpool fans will be keeping a keen eye on the Bundesliga this season for the performances of Keita, who will move to Anfield next summer after the club agreed to pay the £48m release clause in his contract.

And he got on the scoring sheet in Leipzig’s 2-0 win over Hamburg at the start of the month while also picking up an assist in the 2-2 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach.

But that game also saw him being shown a straight red card in the dying moments of the match.

The sending off drew comparisons to Mane’s incident involving Ederson last week in which the Senegal international’s raised foot connected with the Manchester City goalkeeper.

The Liverpool star was subsequently banned for the next three domestic games and after missing the 1-1 draw with Burnley, will miss the Carabao Cup and league double against Leicester this week.

And Keita faces a similar sanction after he was given his marching orders after catching Christoph Kramer with a high boot to the face.
