Idrissa Gueye’s sending-off for Everton for slapping his teammate in the face during the Premier League match at Manchester United joins the list of soccer’s most bizarre red cards.

(CNN) - Liverpool had to come from a goal behind to battle past Newcastle and extend its lead at the top of the Premier League to five points. The attacking trio of Mane, Salah and Roberto Firmino were in typically scintillating form, though defensively it looked, at times, that some of the old cracks were showing. But when Liverpool attacks the way it did against Newcastle, perhaps defending shouldn't be too much of a concern. In its first season in the Premier League, the VAR system has come under heavy criticism following a series of glaring errors. Premier League officials have said they are happy with it so far, although referee chief Mike Riley admitted four errors had already been made so far.
