West Ham midfielder Vladimir Coufal managed to avoid what many are calling the "clearest red card ever" during a collision with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.
Despite barging into Bellegarde and delivering an elbow to the face, Coufal escaped without even a yellow card, leaving fans and pundits shocked.
Outrage from Fans
Supporters were quick to voice their disbelief at the referee's decision. One fan questioned, "How did West Ham's Coufal get away with that violent elbow on Bellegarde? One rule for one and one for another." Another exclaimed, "How is Coufal not sent off there?! Never mind booked." The consensus among fans was that the incident warranted a red card.
Daniel Sturridge's Reaction
Even Daniel Sturridge, a former Chelsea and Liverpool striker who was working as a pundit for Sky Sports at the time, expressed his astonishment. He commented, "I don't know if this should be happening on a football pitch. Come on, this is WWE stuff. This is rugby stuff. It's an elbow to the jaw."
