PGMOL chief Howard Webb believes it was right for Moises Caicedo to avoid a red card against Tottenham during Chelsea's 4-3 victory on Sunday.
The Chelsea midfielder faced no disciplinary action for his first-half lunging challenge on Spurs' Pape Matar Sarr after the collision was checked by VAR.
WHAT THE OFFICIALS SAID:
Assistant Referee 1: "Give a free-kick, give a free-kick. I don't think it's full stand-on-foot, I think it's partial, I don't think it's full."
VAR: "Comes into the tackle. Catches him at a glancing blow and then down onto the floor. I don't think there's any evidence for serious foul play. I don't think he goes through him with excessive force."
HOWARD WEBB'S VERDICT:
"A yellow card should have been shown, in the end Caicedo received no disciplinary action for that action. I think he's actions were reckless. For me it's not a red card. For me this is a situation where Caicedo goes to swing to kick a ball which is kicked away from him by Pape Sarr.
"That swinging action continues into the leg of Sarr. It comes off really quickly, slow motion can sometimes distort reality. For me that's reckless, not serious foul play because it's not excessive force, it doesn't endanger the safety of Pape Sarr.
"At full speed there's no real energy coming through his foot into the shin. It comes off really quickly so there's not an exertion of force through into an opponent's leg which would do the damage. It hits his leg and comes off quickly. For me, it should be a yellow card for a reckless action."
