It depended on whether the defender intentionally played it. That's what they ruled a few years ago in a game between Liverpool and Spurs

Disgusting..outright assault. 0% effort to play the ball 100% effort to injure Mitoma as rightly so they would have id’d him as one of the biggest threats. I hope that POS Holgate gets more than just a standard ban..he knew exactly what he was trying to do.

We won 5-0 , which is great
but I wish we would be more ruthless, it was like a practice match
if their goal would of been allowed, they are back in the match and from there anything can happen
please can we close out a game as soon as possible , then take your foot of the gas

At the Amex they were the worst team I've seen (pre Dahoud's dumb red card), along with CP.

Call me an optimist, but I reckon we're safe now.
It’s quite worrying, that had it not been for VAR the ref would’ve given a yellow. Hard to imagine what on earth the Sheffield United player was trying to do with that tackle.

Lovely win, good for the goal difference, a clean sheet and some more minutes in the legs of returning players.
But my biggest takeaway was what a nightmare season this is for Sheff utd. They're so far out of their depth it's not funny. A miserable, miserable season for them.

Not sure who was the worst at shooting.
Bissouma, Caicedo or Billy.
Big talkCall me an optimist, but I reckon we're safe now.
I'll have a pint of what you're one.
I’ve just had a quick skim of the Blades board and there’s no complaints from them, most are very angry at that tackle and the outcome

Great that Holgate's premeditated assault on Mitoma was rewarded with his team getting humped. Get that right up you.
It’s Man Utd with some added Tom Lockyear. We’re lucky they even showed our game.

Sheffield United really do have the feeling of a classic relegation team, everything that could’ve gone wrong today went wrong; early red card, disallowed goal, own goal and a deflected goal. They did everything they could to make the game easier for us lol,
