Ramiro Funes Mori Receives Red Card vs. Liverpool: Latest Details and Reaction

Everton's Ramiro Funes Mori saw red against Liverpool in the Merseyside derby at Anfield on Wednesday, leaving his side with 10 men.

Referee Robert Madley gave the defender his marching orders four minutes into the second half for lunging in on Divock Origi, who was consequently stretchered off after being caught on the ankle.

Sky Sports shared images of the foul:

As Sky Sports' Neil Mellor noted, the referee made the correct decision:

The defender took to Twitter to apologise for his actions and express his hope Origi's injury isn't serious:

But that did not prevent him from receiving a "torrent of disgusting online taunts" and reportedly a death threat. 

Rob Maul of the Sun relayed a reported post sent to Mori's Instagram account that read: "I will kill you and your family." 

"You will get ­cancer," said another. Merseyside Police is investigating the abuse, per Maul. 

Reaction to the tackle came from media sources, including BBC Sport's Phil McNulty and the Telegraph's Paul Hayward:

BT Sport's Lynsey Hipgrave and B/R UK's Jack Lusby took issue with the Argentinian's reaction to being sent off:

As Squawka noted, the 25-year-old has shown little discipline in his tackles this season:

Everton have struggled at the back this season, and their ability to finish the campaign on a high has taken a dent thanks to his suspension.

Funes Mori will miss Saturday's FA Cup semi-final tie with Manchester United and could miss Premier League matches with Bournemouth and Leicester City, pending the FA's ruling on the incident.
