Liverpool get red card verdict as Steven Gerrard weighs in on Brighton controversyLiverpool were furious that Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh was not shown a second yellow card for diving after going down under pressure from Jeremie Frimpong in the boxView 2 Images Yankuba Minteh went over in the box looking for a penalty (Image: AFP/Getty Images)Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard believes that Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh should have been shown a second yellow card for diving on Saturday. ‌Minteh had already been booked in the Premier League's early kick-off when he threw himself to the floor. Brighton played the ball in behind Jeremie Frimpong and Minteh raced to get there first before flopping to the ground. ‌England waved away the Brighton winger's appeal for a penalty, but also didn't take action for diving. After Minteh avoided a red card - and Fabian Hurzeler opted against replacing him - Brighton took the lead again in the 56th minute.
