Eagles v Blades

The Referee Store
Never subscribed to the theory that once on a yellow card the next foul is a “mandatory” sending off.

TV pundits tried to suggest otherwise here but no issues for me not to caution Baldock a second time. Admittedly had he not been cautioned for the one Zaha “sold” I think he would’ve been for this. However I like the tightrope that this puts the player on. Does it again and nobody can have any complaints.
 
I wouldn’t have argued had he received one, but think Zaha has done him for the first. It looked to me on the reverse angle that he’s grabbed at Baldock first, luring him into a small tug that he’s been caught doing.

Wasn’t so sure that deserved a caution in its own right, so it’s kinda balanced itself out
