Description of incident: Tamir Cohen was challenged by Elliot as he passed the ball on. Cohen fell in a manor that suggested he was immediately hurt but the ref, who was right on the spot, waved play on. Which was lucky for Elliot, as he was already on a yellow card.

Summary: I thought this was another relatively easy decision. It was an absolutely atrocious challenge by Elliot which, in my eyes warranted a red card all of its own, but was certainly worthy of the second yellow it would have brought him. It was studs first, knee high. The more I think about it, the more confused I am that the ref got this wrong. It should have been a red card.
