Player Valuation: £70m
For every rule change, (eg stop the game for a "head injury") clubs will find a way to circumnavigate them to their advantage. Occasionally, and thankfully today, joyously, it backfires.Should be an automatic red card for me, really puts players welfare at risk if it becomes very common, needs stamping out smartish.
The player successfully stopped the break and jumped up quickly in an attempt to show he wasn't injured and wouldn't need to go off. The ref thought otherwise.
