<p>In the first half of Sunday’s 2-1 triumph for Liverpool at St. James’ Park, the Netherlands’ center back was dismissed for a foul on Alexander Isak. Van Dijk argued with referee John Brooks after first refusing to leave the field.</p>
<p>He will be automatically suspended for one match, which he must serve this weekend against Aston Villa, although the penalty may be extended.</p>
<p>The defender is claimed to have behaved improperly and/or spoken abusively or insultingly to a match official, according to the FA.</p>
<p>Van Dijk has till this Friday to answer the accusation.</p>
