Social media is divided after referee Jarred Gillett overturned his decision to award Kieran Trippier a red card during Newcastle’s game with Manchester City on Sunday.
The English full-back scored a sublime goal from a free kick earlier in the game, as his strike, combined with goals from Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson gave Eddie Howe’s team a shock lead after Ilkay Gundogan had opened the scoring for the away side.
Pep Guardiola’s s
find ide fought back though, and goals from Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva brought the game level midway into the second half.
Kieran Trippier was initially dismissed for his tackle on Kevin De Bruyne in Sunday’s game between Newcastle and Man City
James’ Park
Then, on 73 minutes
and with Kevin De Bruyne leading a City counterattack, Trippier lunged in on
the half-way line to
house bring the Belgian international down, eliciting a straight
red card from Gillett.
However, after
consulting with VAR
business , Gillett opted to rescind his original decision, and
instead yellow-carded the former Tottenham defender.
In the aftermath of
the incident, fans and pundits alike have taken to social media to share their
views on whether Trippier should have been allowed to remain on the pitch
following the foul.
