Fuming Reds accept Reina ban

LIVERPOOL have not appealed against Jose Reina’s red card for pushing Chelsea’s Dutch winger Arjen Robben in the face at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Reina was sent off nine minutes from time by referee Alan Wiley for the offence, which caused controversy because of Robben's theatrical reaction to the goalkeeper's tame push.

Liverpool lost the game 2-0 and many players and ex-players supported Reds boss Rafael Benitez in venting their frustration at Robben for his play-acting.
