On Wednesday, Liverpool beat Everton 4-0 with goals from Dvicok Origi, Mamadou Sakho, Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho.
However, the Liverpool derby was overshadowed by Ramiro Funes Mori’s ruthless challenge on Origi, who had to be stretchered off with an ankle injury.

When walking off the pitch Funes Mori kissed his Everton logo, which made Twitter explode with anger:

Not much worse in football than seeing a player leave on a stretcher after a thug’s tackle (Funes Mori on Origi). Sickens every time.

BREAKING: Everton’s Ramiro Funes Mori seen throwing a cat into a bin this morning, before walking off smirking and tugging at his badge.

Horrible and brainless at the same time from Ramiro Funes Mori – not a great combination.

“Scandalous tackle”@Reid6Peter on Funes Mori’s red card.
Origi looks seriously injured.

Heard & read a lot of easy scapegoating of referees this week, but that decision to give Funes Mori a straight red was spot on. #LIVvEFC
