1 week agoHow 'irresponsible' captain Romero's week ended in 'perfect storm'
Cristian Romero received a straight red for a forceful late challenge on Casemiro, reducing Spurs and contributing to a 2-0 defeat.
The characteristics of a reckless challenge, originally identified by the on-field referee, were not evident in the footage presented to the VAR team when reviewing the incident. Attwell, would have been very uncomfortable with Simons action, feeling the contact on the back of Van Dijk's calf, with a level of force and speed, endangered the safety of his opponent and met the threshold for a possible red card.
