Virgil van Dijk fined 115 thousand euros for insulting the referee of the game between Newcastle and Liverpool

Virgil van Dijk started Newcastle’s Premier League third leg against Liverpool, but the Dutch defender was sent off after just 28 minutes after fouling the full-back.

Stunned by the decision of the central defender, Van Dijk insulted the referee, and in the end the score came.

Although he was initially only suspended for the match against Aston Villa, the Liverpool player has learned that he will also be suspended for the match against Wolves, but that is not all.

Van Dijk was fined 115,000 euros for insulting the referee.

“After today’s statement, I want to explain that I fully agree with the commission’s decision.

It was my first red card in a Liverpool shirt and I let my frustration get the better of me in a tense moment.” – said the Liverpool player.
