Liverpool believes the three-legged suspension is too serious a punishment for his striker Sadio Manet, who kicked in the face of goalkeeper Man City Ederson.

In the fourth round match of the English Premier League between Manchester City and Liverpool, the forward of the "red" Sadio Manet kicked in the face of the goalkeeper "townspeople" Ederson.

The referee showed the Senegalese a straight red card, and in conjunction with a rough game this means that Manet was disqualified for three matches.

Nevertheless, Liverpool considers such punishment too harsh and will appeal to him, reports The Times. The hearing on this case will be held on Tuesday, September 12.
