Gerrard and Mellor see red as Liverpool lose to Galatasaray

ENGLAND midfielder Steven Gerrard and striker Neil Mellor were sent off as Liverpool lost 2-1 to Galatasaray in the Amsterdam tournament yesterday.

Both players were dismissed in the last five minutes of a bad-tempered game.

Mellor was handed a straight red card for clattering into Gabriel Tamas. Gerrard, booked earlier for a foul on Berkant Goktan which prompted an angry confrontation between opposing players, then swiftly followed for comments made to Dutch referee Rene Temmink.
