Former Premier League referee Chris Foy has explained why Virgil van Dijk rightly only picked up a yellow card for his challenge on Amadou Onana.
During the second half of Saturday’s Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, the Dutchman was booked for a challenge on the Everton midfielder. However, replays seemed to suggest that the Liverpool man was lucky to only pick up a booking.
Darren England, on VAR duty for the game, is believed to have reviewed the tackle and opted to stick with referee Anthony Taylor’s original on field decision. But when asked post-match if he felt Van Dijk's foot was high on Onana, Blues boss Frank Lampard responded: "Absolutely. I've heard a lot this week insinuating my players were time-wasting at the game at Leeds.
