#3 Barkley lucky not to see red after rash tackle on Henderson
Trending
Ross Barkley was booked for a late challenge on Jordan Henderson, but replays showed that the Everton player was lucky to not be sent off for the foul, which could have resulted in a serious injury for the Liverpool captain.
Everton boss Ronald Koeman admitted in the post-match interview that Barkley was “maybe lucky”, while Henderson shared that Barkley had apologised to him at the end of the match.
With Sergio Aguero and Jamie Vardy seeing red and Marcos Rojo escaping the penalty for similar challenges in recent times, the debate on refereeing decisions in similar cases is likely to continue in the near future.
