Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita had already thrown an elbow in the face of Mason Mount earlier in the game and escaped a booking, before producing a recklessly timed challenge way after the ball went high up on Chalobah’s leg.

To the surprise of most people, Referee - Staurt Atwell gave Liverpool the foul and played the advantage for them even though it was a clear case of a red card offence.
Atwell's decision was just one of many ridiculously poor decisions from the officials and VAR from yesterday's game that marred what was a very entertaining encounter.
However, the 22-year-old defender has now revealed that the challenge caused him to need stitches, reacting via his official Twitter handle and questioning the Ref's decision with a post that read:
' Had to get stitches because of this. Referee is right there I don’t get it?? '
Chalobah's question to the referee is no doubt unwarranted, as most of the officiating on Sunday night unarguably marred a beautiful final cup clash.
