Following the passing of the first premier league yellow card amnesty, liverpool has avoided a potential disciplinary hazard. Both wataru endo and darwin nunez were aware that a fifth booking of the top-flight campaign would keep them out of newcastle united’s new year’s day tour. Endo had picked up a fourth league caution of the season in a 1-1 home draw against arsenal on saturday, while nunez had been in a similar situation during the dismal goalless draw with manchester united at anfield the weekend before.
The trip to turf moor was the last game before the premier league’s disciplinary amnesty, which takes place after a team’s 19th game of the season. nunez opened the scoring while endo put on a good showing, making it 2-0 to face newcastle on monday.
