Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano has insisted he does not understand why he was sent off in Sunday's 3-0 defeat by Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The Argentine appeared to question referee Steve Bennett's decision to caution Fernando Torres, and was then shown a second yellow card himself.
However, Mascherano said: "I do not know why I was sent off. When the referee showed me the second yellow card and sent me off I could not believe it."
Mascherano's dismissal carries a one-match ban but the Football Association may increase it as it aims to crack down on players showing dissent.
The 23-year-old's case will not he helped by the fact he completely lost his cool and would not leave the pitch until he was dragged away by Liverpool players and management.
Mascherano, however, believes he should not have been penalised in the first instance.
