Thoughts on the red card?
I'm saying no red card.
Not in control if ball and distance from goal is enough doubt.

I'm surprised this is a discussion. It satisfies every DOGSO criteria and then some. It's a red.

Apart from distance and control.

Is he likely to gain the ball if fouled? Yes. Distance goes hand in hand with the position of the defenders - he's close enough that not even Usain Bolt catches him.

For me its DGSO but without the Obvious, enough doubt personally.
Unlike the Mane assault, this one had a whiff of doubt from all angles, including that of Scott who was understandably miles away. Lino must've made the call. I'm not convinced. Not much MD could do about it from Stockley, as doubt also filled the cabin

Agree, that was my view. Once the attacking free kick is given the only possible outcome can be DOGSO. The holding really slowed him down, without it I am certain he would have been one on one with the keeper.
