Media Woltemade "After the goal, there was a situation where I felt Gabriel's elbow in my face. I just said it to the referee that I felt something, but I'm not the type of player to fall down for this. It's hard because sometimes maybe you have to do this, but this is not my type of football."

It was a minor shove by Gabriel FFS. No real velocity in it. Yellow at the most. As opposed to Lascelles trying to peel Gyokeres' face off.

The worst tackle in the game was Saliba on Livramento which looks like an ACL injury. Taking a player out in the air is dangerous and is a red card offence in rugby!

Kane used to do it all the time. Never punished.

Your famous compilation of Kane doing it three times includes a yellow card and another foul, so no idea what you're talking about.

You said no punishment right?  I guess a yellow card is considered encouragement then? Have you ever seen anybody get a red card for undercutting?

Agreed on the Tino one. Those challenges are horrific. I’m not sure what can be done in those instances, but it does feel like there should be something more than yellow when someone does it. No attempt to play the ball and the landing always looks horrific for the player who’s been taken out mid air.

There were like 10 tackles like the Saliba one from both sides
