Ekitike received a second yellow card and was ejected from the game after removing his shirt in celebration of a late goal, which will keep him out of Liverpool's upcoming match against Crystal Palace.

Isak has been scoring consistently for Liverpool, with five goals in eight games, and Sherwood believes that Ekitike's behavior was a result of the attention and pressure that comes with playing alongside a talented teammate.

According to Sherwood, Ekitike's actions were unnecessary and would have been a source of frustration for manager Arne Slot, who will now have to rely on Isak as the main striker.

Despite Ekitike's impressive start to the season, his behavior may lead to him being dropped from the team after he serves his suspension, adding to the pressure he already feels from Isak's presence.

Isak's ability to score consistently has made him a key player for Liverpool, and Ekitike's actions may be seen as a setback for the team.
