Ref Watch: Should Scott McTominay have been sent off?

Dermot Gallagher dissects the big flashpoints from the weekend's action and explains why he thought Scott McTominay was fortunate not to be sent off during Manchester's draw with Leicester City. Manchester United 1-1 Leicester City

INCIDENT: Scott McTominay has a loose touch and then lunges in on James Maddison to try and win the ball. He connects with the Leicester midfielder's boot and referee Andre Marriner shows McTominay a yellow card. VAR looked at the incident and agreed with the on-field decision but should it have been red?

VERDICT: Red card, but it's a subjective decision.

DERMOT SAYS: McTominay is very lucky. He's caught Maddison, who's very lucky not to have sustained an injury, the speed, the intensity, the way he's lunged. The boot on boot comes because Maddison is off the ground, which is lucky for him. When it's looked at by VAR, I don't think this is a case of clear and obvious, I think it's subjective.

Because the referee thinks it's not a red card it doesn't necessarily mean the VAR can't upgrade it to a red card. Different people have different views but I think it's very lucky.

Sue Smith: "It's an orange card. If Maddison's foot had been planted then there could have been a serious injury."

Stephen Warnock: "When Maddison goes in for that, if he goes into it full-blooded then he hurts himself because the other player is out of control. There's got to be a fairness in how you tackle. I think it's probably a red card."

INCIDENT: James Maddison scores to put Leicester ahead but the goal is ruled out for a foul in the build-up from Kelechi Iheanacho on Raphael Varane. Was it the correct decision to disallow the goal and award a free-kick to Manchester United?

VERDICT: Correct decision.
