Perhaps the kind of game where a red card doesn’t favor the other team (that much), with lower blocks and so on. Sheffield United have played a game, Villa haven’t, if we’re following the excuses after United vs. Palace the other day.
It was a clear red card though, the defender hangs on for like 5 seconds before letting go. The striker would have had a chance at goal and that’s why the rule is there. Would have been smarter to just wack him down in midfield to create more doubt about the goalscoring opportunity.
