Ref Watch: Mata's Late Tackle On Vardy

INCIDENT: Juan Mata is booked for a late tackle on Jamie Vardy.

SCENARIO: With the game goalless after an uneventful opening 28 minutes, Mata, in an attempt to regain possession after giving the ball away cheaply, caught the Leicester striker high on his ankle with a late tackle.

DERMOT'S VERDICT: Borderline, but understand why it's a yellow.

DERMOT SAYS: This is almost identical to James Milner's tackle on Victor Moses in the week. If he had been sent-off he wouldn't have been arguing. I think it's a right on the edge. The fact the tackle is low and he starts to pull out has saved him.
