Watch: Sky pundits debate Chelsea’s lucky escape from red card

Malo Gusto’s big tackle on Willian escaped a red card on Saturday, something that Fulham boss Marco Silva was not happy about.

Sky Sports have looked at it in detail today, and drawn some interesting conclusions on their ref watch program.

In the end, Dermot Gallagher and all of the pundits there agree that it’s a yellow – but that they’ve seen similar challenges upgraded to red.

As you’d expect, the replies are crawling with Liverpool fans who are quite rightly puzzled why, if this isn’t red, Curtis Jones was sent off in similar circumstances against Tottenham.
