It's not late though, he never made an attempt to win the ball so is clearly out of control. What happened to Gomez is unfortunate and not intentional, but it's easy to see how that's a red.
Sorry mate but I'm inclined not to listen to somebody who says all slide tackles are classed as out of control.
Mina did it to Alli when we were breaking and the ball was about 30 yards away from him. Should that have been a red too, as it wasn't even given as a foul?
you can see why its a red surely though rcl? He comes in from behind sliding. He doesn't catch him that hard from the looks of things but thats pretty dangerous either way. One of those where you can call it a yellow or a red with no complaints
what do you want people being able to make leg breaking tackles from behind because they think it's ok to do this ? that is a red card simple as that
Agree it's unfortunate and really feel for the lad. Hopefully he recovers fully from it but going to be tough. Do disagree about it being a red though, like I say you see those sort of fouls every week n it's almost always a yellow which is what the ref originally gave. Don't think we'd be having this discussion if it hadn't have resulted in such an awful injury.
All slides from behind are out of control When was Son ever brave enough to slide into an opponent who could see it coming?
Nope. It's a yellow card and Atkinson initially give him exactly that, then changes his mind after seeing the injury and being screamed at.
