Greece defender Sotiris Kyrgiakos was sent off in the Merseyside derby on Saturday but his side Liverpool went on to beat Everton 1-0.

Kyrgiakos, who has been in good form for the Reds recently, was sent off in the first-half of a particularly fiery match for a two-footed tackle on Everton midfielder Marouanne Felaini.

Although video replays showed that the former Panathinaikos and AEK player made contact with the ball, he also made impact with Felaini, which was enough for referee Martin Atkonson to give Kyrgiakos his marching order.

Footage also showed that Felaini went in with his studs up on Kyrgiakos and made contact with the defender's shin. Kyrgiakos required two stitches after the incident.

Felaini was unable to continue after the challenge but x-rays showed that he did not break any bones.

Despite going down to 10 men, Liverpool won the game thanks to a second-half Dirk Kuyt header.
