Assume you mean the Dalot one?Cant believe thats not been given as red. Completely endangers opponent. I’m a neutral watching this so i can say I cant believe what ive just seen, VAR has a lot of questions coming its way
ive edited it incase I confused people, his knee buckled though and could have easily been an awful injury on any other day so I think there was more than enough force to give itAssume you mean the Dalot one?
It's ends up being a glancing blow to the knee with not a great amount of force which I think saves him. It's not a nice challenge, but think it just below SFP threshold.
I think you are over stating it somewhat. It's not a nice challenge I agree but I didn't see any buckling, Dakota foot didn't really press through into the knee, more caught the opponent high without any significant force. .ive edited it incase I confused people, his knee buckled though and could have easily been an awful injury on any other day so I think there was more than enough force to give it

Er... what rolling around?Hard to see from the TV real time, live so can understand it and I think therefore that we’re firmly in “on field call stands” territory on this one. Had it been red on field, it’s not being overturned.
Doku’s reaction plays a part here. Boy who cried wolf scenario writ large. Rolls around like so many others do at minor contact, which plants the seed of doubt. “Is it really that bad? Maybe not, go yellow”.
So you think if Doku had played dead it would have been more likely to be a red card?I can’t upload a video but on the Match of the day highlights he grabs his leg (understandably) but rolls from side to side for several seconds.
The point remains - players at every club do this after minor contact, although and on this occasion it’s indisputably more than that. But doing so it makes it look like “just another foul” and nothing else.
I do. It’s a psychological thing which is why I used the boy who cried wolf analogy.So you think if Doku had played dead it would have been more likely to be a red card?
