Common sense would have been to stop the game. Not to give a foul and certainly not to send a player off for a tackle that wasn't even a foul.

Looked like it was his ankle to me.
If that’s true he was doing well to clap the fans on his way off. Fair play.
They’re obviously saying the reason we’re not being shown the replay is because Elliott’s leg clearly breaks during the tackle.
It wasn't even the folllow through though, it was his trailing leg wasn't it?
Ok just watching it now and it's not a red I don't think. Feel bad for the lad but doesn't look a red...
I'm not saying otherwise
your reading skills need work.Not convinced that’s a red, just incredibly unfortunate. Gutted for Elliott.
Had to go away from the game. I hate seeing injuries like that, doesn't matter who it is. Hope the poor guy makes a full recovery.
Sorry thought you were reacting to the first part of his post saying it wasn't a red
It’s Liverpool so it has to be a red card. We all know this. Very unfortunate but it was a quality tackle and he won the ball cleanly from the replay just posted here.
Here comes the main man
Def a red card imo, both feet off the floor. Wasn't the worst challenge I've ever seen though. But a red is fair for sure. (From the replays I've seen so far)
Of course he's upset, but bending the ear of the 4th official is not helping anyone. The player involved was sent off rightly or wrongly.
He's an absolute bellend. Screaming in the fourth official's face, whos' probably communicating with the ref knowing full well they're going to look at it and deal with it. Even his own players are telling him to calm down. Especially with an incident like that you need a level head. He's a fecking buffoon
Neville right though, never a red, only because the injury. Feel sorry for him though, terrible
Excessive force is a red .. If the player went in hard and it resulted in an injury, even if he wins the ball, it's a red.
I still havent seen the replay.. I am not sure what happened in this case.. but if his challenge broke someone's foot, it probably gets classified as excessive force.

So it's a red then ?
Time for James to show us why we shouldn’t have sold him. Hat trick coming up.
He doesn't need much of an excuse to act like a massive screaming jaffa cake.
Could he have deemed the follow through to be reckless?
It wasn’t excessive force, it was unfortunate angles and timing
Apologies I thought you were saying thats why it was a red.I'm not saying otherwise
Wasn't the only one who misread it.
He genuinely didn't seem in much pain, it was Salah's reaction that showed it must be really serious.
Awful but this is not even a foul.
They never show replays when it results in a graphic injury.
I broke my foot stepping of the bottom step of a flight of stairs. It can happen.
Awful for the kid, but that was just an unfortunate outcome. Didn't even look a foul, never mind a red. Doesn't sound right to send him off just based on the outcome.
I didn't see it live as I was watching something on the ipad (bf has it on as Liverpool fan) looking at the replay, it looks like the Leeds guys leg that isn't the one going for the ball is the one that has caught Elliots leg
Klopp really wasn't helping the situation as ever. Yes it's distressingly but screaming at the officials like that isn't going to help

So you can get the ball, and break someone leg, but its ok because you got the ball first.
He did. Tyler said they’d had it confirmed Pawson was going to send him off, but I just don’t know how the ref was going to do that having not given the foul. Smells like the VAR ref has made the decision, which they’re not supposed to do
Their number 20 is electric
His trailing leg rolled over Elliotts leg, it wasn't a front on challenge. He won the ball from the side.
All the beauty work he's had done hasn't calmed him down one bit.
yeah I know he's out of line, just don't see the need to call him a fecking imbecile given the circumstances
Its not the challenge that got a red, because it was a good tackle, and the ref played on.
The red came due to the end result, which is very unfortunate. Not sure if its due to the way he landed or fell, that ended up doing it.
We should buy him.
I didn't pick it up but I doubt he's been told to say that after neville saying its not a red.
Aye it was his leg
I rewound it because I missed the commotion
I wish I hadn’t, I hate snaps like that
If dislocated and put back in, is the pain still bad for a while after? If anything broken that badly I’d be surprised if he went off waving,
