It's on YouTube, most recently uploaded if you search for Harvey Elliott.Obviously it’s a horrific injury, but (and I say this without having been able to see a replay) I don’t actually think it was a RC challenge.
Happy to correct myself when I can see a reply, but I suspect Pawson has refereed the outcome rather than the challenge itself.
That’s what I thought. Tackles from behind are so risky because of less protection and ‘weak spots’.It got an "ooof" from me as he left the ground in real time. No interest in a replay, but I had it as an off-the-ground scissor from behind so definitely not surprised to see red - biggest surprise was it looked like nothing was being given on the pitch initially!

Red for me - and unfortunately it’s caused serious injury. He’s left the ground using a scissor motion, with the trailing leg landing on the back of elliots leg. It’s an awful challenge.
Attempt to win the ball is irrelevant. How can we allow players to come off the ground and land on the back of a players leg?Just seen a clip on Youtube and I disagree, if the injury did not occur I don't think Pawson would even whistle that for a foul. Unlike the Son tackle which was reckless and no attempt to play the ball, this was an attempt to win the ball, it's a tough one for the referee because of the injury but imo Leeds should get that red card rescinded.

Ok, slightly change the scenario.

I don't think he had two feet off the ground though and I'm sure a referee should not be influenced by the injury hence Sons red card was overturned. As I say a reckless tackle which would be a yellow which causes a serious injury should be a red card, its hard to say whether this would class as that as I don't think many referees would whistle that as a foul.Attempt to win the ball is irrelevant.

The on field decision was apparently play on.Why is Pawson discussing it with the VAR before he's made an onfield decision?
Then he should've gone to the monitor?The on field decision was apparently play on.
Play was stopped due to serious injury.
At which point VAR will be reccomending review.
Have seen a slow he actually indicates a FK to LPool.Then he should've gone to the monitor?
