    Two yellows was the right decision.
    I've watched that tackle on Havertz again about 10 times, it was on X

    If that isn't a free kick then someone has changed the rules. City player not only made no attempt to play the ball, he ran across Havertz deliberately and took his legs out, without ever coming near the ball.

    Foul, and a red card. And I agree on Haaland and Gabriel. I also agree with Taylor that the Haaland goal should have stood. They were grabbing each other, Haaland was just stronger.

    I actually haven't seen the challenge on Havertz at all since the one replay they showed in game.

    Ive just watched it again. Not sure there is any contact on the legs. I'm not convinced it is a foul.

    If we had a player sent off for that i would be furious.

    You watched a different tackle than I did

    No, i watched the same one and reached a different conclusion. Hardly a first for us, is it

    I will give you one thing though. Dermot Gallagher, on 'ref watch' came up with this brilliant explanation of why it wasnt a foul....

    'You'll see that Anthony Taylor has a very clear view of it, and clearly says it is not a foul. That is why it isnt a red card'

    If this is his best defence of the decision, maybe you are right.

    Absolutely, clear foul
