Hodgson added: âI said at the time I wasnât certain about Raheemâs tackle. âHaving seen it back, Iâve got to say I thought it was a very reckless challenge, and under the current interpretation he deserved to be sent off. âHe didnât do it maliciously. We all know that. He had just come on the field. âRaheem was bursting with energy and flew into the challenge, and Iâve got every sympathy with Antonio Valencia. âWe were a week away from the World Cup and Valencia was a victim of that sort of tackle, heâs a human being. âI donât think anybody could have turned his back on that and smiled it off. I can't condone it. I see he agrees with me then.

RvP put a couple of "reckless" tackles in yesterday and not a word of criticism from Van Gaal or van_matth2014 #honestwoy
