Referees picking on Sissoko, says Benitez

LIVERPOOL boss Rafael Benitez believes Premiership referees are picking on Mohamed Sissoko.

The Reds midfielder has already picked up three bookings in four games this season, leaving him just two cautions away from a suspension.

Having amassed 11 yellows and a red at Sunderland during his debut campaign with the Merseyside giants, Sissoko is starting to build-up an unwanted reputation.
