During the highly-anticipated match between Liverpool and Manchester United, tensions ran high as both teams fought for their respective goals. Early on in the game, Liverpool’s left-back Kostas Tsimikas found himself in a heated moment with Antony. The incident caught the attention of Virgil van Dijk, who appeared to shout at Tsimikas inresponse to his actions. The previous encounter between the two sides resulted in a 7-0 victory for Liverpool, adding to the intensity of the rivalry this time around.

Tsimikas was assigned the task of marking Brazilian forward Antony, and midway through the first half, the Greek defender was tested. Antony chased the ball towards the byline, but Tsimikas shielded it, allowing it to go out of play. This led to a brief altercation between Tsimikas and Antony, with the latter gesturing with his hands towards the advertising board.

However, Van Dijk, not pleased with Tsimikas’ behavior, appeared to shout at him, possibly advising him to remain calm and avoid unnecessary bookings. Referee Michael Oliver issued a total of six yellow cards during the match, emphasizing the need for discipline on the field.

Despite Liverpool’s dominance in terms of possession and shots on goal, the match ended in a 0-0 draw, leaving both teams with a single point. Liverpool will likely be disappointed with the result, considering their missed opportunities to score throughout the game. As for Tsimikas, he has yet to receive a yellow or red card this season, and Van Dijk would surely prefer to see him maintain his disciplinary record during the busy festive period.
