Ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has criticised Steven Gerrard for his red card against Manchester United.
The Reds skipper was sent off just 38 seconds after coming off the bench for a stamp on United midfielder Ander Herrera.
Carragher told Sky Sports News: "It was a moment of madness. There's no doubt there would be frustration. He's always been the man, the captain. There's never been a case where he's been out of the team and as soon as he's fit he goes straight back in the team.
"Watching the first time from the bench, he'd have been disappointed. Liverpool weren't playing well, they were losing but I think he'd have been watching players in his position, performing not great, and thinking 'Why am I not playing? Why am I not on that pitch?'"
Carragher, who played alongside Gerrard for club and country, believes that emotions got the better of the 34-year-old, who will leave the club at the end of the season.
He added: "Steven Gerrard is an emotional player, you see that in his career. He's taken teams I've played in into some unbelievable moments. There's no doubt being a local player, the emotion of these occasions, the frustration coming into this game, has contributed to the moment of madness.
"He's been injured, he's been out of the team, he could potentially have six games left in his Liverpool career. But it's a straight red there's no arguments with that. You can't do that on a football pitch, he's been rightly given his marching orders."
United went on to win the match 2-1.
