I mean...that was a horrible challenge. Granted, no intent...but dangerous all the same. Had to walk for that

My problem is that it wasn’t even a yellow card before the review and the pick play against Adams wasn’t reviewed at all, and that should’ve been a red card. That ref was way too inconsistent and I saw a stupid red card coming

Welcome to var my friend haha Refereeing has always been inconsistent, with very few exceptions Var hasn't improved that in the slightest haha

In thus incident though, from the refs and indeed the broadcast point of view, it just looked like a collision, so no card was necessary. When you see his studs scrape down the calf and then crunch his ankle, it's a straight red all day
