Reds to appeal against red cards

Last updated : 01 November 2009 By Al Campbell
Philipp Degen and Jamie Carragher were both sent off yesterday but the Reds will appeal against both decisions as both were wrong.

"For me, the first one with Degen was a yellow card, and with the second one it was clear that Carra was kicking the ball and not Zamora. I watched the replay and it is clear," said Rafael Benitez.

"We will try to appeal against both red cards because for me it's very clear that Carra was kicking the ball and the other one Degen was not kicking the player.

"It was difficult to take but it was a good response from the nine players who worked hard, but always it's very difficult to come back against 11 players."
