Manchester City vs Everton – Bobby Madley
Perhaps Madley is suffering from second/third season syndrome. Maybe he thinks he’s nailed it and he’s too relaxed or not focussed on what’s going on. I’ve refereed Man City vs Everton many times and it’s a tough, tough game to referee.
Kyle Walker’s first caution you can’t argue with but what’s he seen on the second one? On the camera angles shown on TV, I think Bobby has gone on player reaction and guessed, and you cannot do that. This is where this diving panel comes in, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has deceived the referee and exaggerated contact. It’s a slight coming together and Bobby’s got it absolutely wrong, yet Walker is now going to miss the next game.

They’ve deemed it not one for the panel to look at but for me they should be looking at that, overturning the caution and giving Calvert-Lewin a two-game suspension. That’s worse than diving, getting a fellow professional sent off where hardly any contact is made.
I can understand the Sergio Aguero incident with Morgan Schneiderlin, the pace of the game was quick and it may look a second caution in real time. He’s clearly played the ball but with the pace he’s gone in, I can understand why he’s produced the second caution, even though it’s wrong.
