Vine: Lazar Markovic sent off after waving an arm near a Basel player

Liverpool's night goes from bad to worse

Trailing 1-0 at the break, and in need of a win to save their Champions League skins, Brendan Rodgers introduced big money signing Lazar Markovic from the bench. The Serbian looked exceptionally bright when he came on but after just 11 minutes he was back in stands, as he was sent off for this. If he did make contact with the Basel player, it was only the merest of touches but that doesn't mitigate against the stupidity of waving his arm near an opponent.
