We complain when Chelsea get decisions against them, so we’ve got to show you one we’ve slightly got away with.
Malo Gusto overreached for a ball running out of his control and ended up crunching his studs onto the top of Willian’s foot. Most people think it was a red card – and it’s certainly on the border.
We think it was certainly short of “dangerous,” so was more yellow than red. But could you have had many complaints had the referee judged it was dangerous? Not really.
You can see the goal in the clips embedded here:
Should Malo Gusto have received a red card for this challenge on Willian?
