Liverpool - Manchester United: Red Card Report

Liverpool defeated Manchester United 2-0 today. During the course of the game, Manchester United fullback Nemanja Vidic (pictured below) was sent off with a red card. According to the announcers, this was the third consecutive Liverpool-Manchester United match in which Vidic has received a red card.

Later on in the match, Liverpool's Javier Mascherano (see photo below) received a red card as well. Apparently this was the first time in the last fifty-four Premier League matches that a Liverpool player has received a red card. Before today, the last Liverpool player to receive a red card was Javier Mascherano in a game against Manchester United.
