Gary: Why was Marcus Rashford not sent off?
Phil: Morning, Gary. Not a clue. He should have been. I thought referee Rob Jones was wrong not to show him another yellow card for his second foul in a matter of minutes when he tripped Leon Bailey. I am not sure of the thought process. Did he feel maybe the two fouls together did not merit a sending off? That should not matter. I commented at the time that I felt Rashford would have been shown a yellow card for the second offence had he not already been shown one for his first challenge on Matt Cash. To me, the foul on Bailey was a very obvious yellow card.
In my opinion Rashford was very lucky.
