Having not watched the game, i was expecting some kind of challenge going for a header.
This if off the ball, blatent and without much defence. Exactly the kind of issue that should be fast tracked and punished, this was assault not a 'tackle'.
The commentator calls it perfectly too... Lets see what the FA say.
(BTW having a exec of a club on the panel of the league's governing body is surely a huge conflict of interest and therefore questionable from a legal standpoint?)
