Tim Sherwood and Curtis Davies believe Ben Whiteman should have seen red for his challenge on Moussa Baradji. The incident, described on air as a “shocking” late tackle, drew strong reaction from the pundits who argued the challenge merited a sending-off. The tackle occurred late in the game and prompted debate over whether the referee and match officials missed a clear opportunity to issue a red card. Both Sherwood and Davies said the severity and endangering nature of the challenge met the criteria for serious foul play, saying protections for attacking players must be enforced. The moment has re-ignited discussion around consistency in issuing red cards for late, high-impact challenges.
