I do think it's harsh but it's high and he does catch him
Very harsh, by the letter it's probably a red but twas but a scratch...
I just don’t see that challenge as a red card. It’s a little bit high, but there’s very little force and I don’t think there’s an argument that it endangers the safety of an opponent.
Yet another example of VAR stepping in to correct something that isn’t a clear and obvious error.

The fact he genuinely needed treatment though and was down for a good couple of minutes. He didn't exactly roll around a lot either
Professionals do use genuine treatment to add weight to their acting skills
Yes but you don't stay down like that when you're a RB playing for Palace
They could've conceded!!
You take a massive risk tackling with your studs that high off the ground. I actually think it is a bit of a coward's challenge, he's gone in with his foot high to protect himself, something you used to see players routinely doing 20 years ago. Not a lot of contact, but he has still caught him with studs half way up his shin.
I was very suprised he didn't give a free-kick at all for it to begin with
for those who haven’t seen it

Not having that as a red, and definitely not having it as a C&O error. Further proof this VAR setup doesn't work.
I'm sure someone mentioned a solution in another thread.....

I suspect he didn't see it, so when VAR asked him what he had seen and he said there was no contact that becomes a real candidate for a C&O error.I was very suprised he didn't give a free-kick at all for it to begin with
I think this is a point which a lot of people have missed - why on earth are you trying to tackle with studs showing and your leg in the air especially when the ball is on the floor at the point of contact?
You're taking a huge unnecessary risk!
That was my thought. He could have kept his foot flat. But clear and obvious, nah. Still subjective
