Kieran Trippier 'should have been sent off' against Man City despite 'hell of a performance'

Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier should have been sent off for his 'reckless' challenge on Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne on Sunday, according to Garth Crooks.

The full-back scored a delightful free-kick against City to put Newcastle 3-1 ahead, with the Premier League champions coming back to claim a 3-3 draw. However, Trippier was later shown a red card for a high challenge on De Bruyne, but after a VAR check, the decision was reversed and the England international was booked instead.

Crooks named Trippier in his BBC Premier League team of the week for his overall performance, although he believes the defender should have been sent off for his 'cynical' foul.
