Former Premier League referee wants law change after Wolves vs Leeds United decision

Former Premier League referee Keith Hackett wants FIFA to change a rule after Leeds United's Illan Meslier had to be taken off in their 3-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. The 22-year-old limped off following a collision with Raul Jimenez.

It was a challenge that saw the Mexican given a second yellow card after previously being booked for a late tackle on Mateusz Klich. There was plenty of discussion on social media about whether Jimenez deserved to be sent off, with Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville agreeing that it was the wrong decision.

With Wolves 2-0 up at the time, Leeds took advantage of being a man up as they came from behind to win the game. Jack Harrison, Luke Ayling and Rodrigo all struck as the Whites moved seven points clear of the relegation zone.
