Thought the red card looked harsh. I’ve replayed it myself and the challenge looked fair, just looked incredibly unfortunate to me. Nasty injury though. Wish the lad a speedy recovery.

Horrible tackle. Might have ended Elliot’s career before it’s started. Hopefully a huge ban to go with the red.

So far today we’ve seen Max Verstappen not even checking if Hamilton was ok when he’s got his wheel on his head and now Leeds booing a kid with his leg in two. What is the world coming to?

My initial reaction was the challenge was no worse than the one on Fernandes - stretching leg around and nicking the ball. Must have hurt himself when he landed. Just re-wound since they're not showing replays. I now see why they're not showing replays. The challenge was a lot less controlled, both players running, lunging from beind. It's a bad break. Reminiscent of the Gomes challenge.

The Son red card for that challenge was overturned on appeal. I'm not sure this one would be. Son was pushed into Gomes by an Everton player. This was a dangerous lunging tackle.

Wonder if the early season leniency is going to be reduced now.
Hope not. The rubbish we’ve seen for a number of years where every touch is given was ruining football. It’s a contact sport. Injuries happen even this one was tame compared to years ago just very unfortunate. The likes of Roy Keane would tackle like that 10 times a game.

Just maybe years ago players learnt to prepare and ride tackles better than today’s sanitised players

My first thought was a bit harsh for a red card too. Commentator (Neville) said the red maybe wasn't for the tackle but for the outcome, similar to Stephens at Middlesbrough a few years ago. Wish the Liverpool lad a quick recovery also.

FFS. Out of the Champions League places now.

Pressure all on Potter for the Leicester home game. If he can’t get us straight back in the top 4, perhaps he has reached his ceiling?
