Flanagan appeared to aim an elbow at Brown during a corner, with referee Kevin Clancey to issuing a yellow card.
Many pundits said that Flanagan was lucky not to see red with BBC commentator Jim Duffy saying: "Jon Flanagan put a forearm into Scott Brown's face. You just can't do that. Steven Gerrard has been talking about the discipline of his players. He's a very lucky boy to be sent off."
